Selects the type of test pattern that is generated by the camera as image source. The test patterns are sensor specific and may vary depending on the model.

Values description

•Off: No test pattern is generated. The image acquired by the sensor is displayed.

•Black: The sensor generates a test image with the darkest possible image.

•ChessPattern: The sensor generates a test image with a chess pattern.

•ColorBar: The sensor generates a test image which is filled with stripes of color including white, black, red, green, blue, cyan, magenta and yellow.

•FPGABlack: The FPGA generates a black test image.

•FPGAChessboard: The FPGA generates a test image with alternating pixels from zero intensity and maximum intensity.

•FPGAColorStripe: The FPGA generates a color stripe test image.

•FPGAFramecount: The FPGA generates a homogeneous test image that starts with zero intensity and gets brighter with each frame. When maximum intensity is reached the sequence starts again.

•FPGAGrayscale: The FPGA generates a test image with a horizontal gradient. The gradient starts at zero intensity on the left side and reaches the maximum intensity on the right side.

•FPGAVerticalGrayscale: The FPGA generates a test image with a vertical gradient. The gradient starts at zero intensity at the top of the image and reaches the maximum intensity at the bottom of the image.

•FPGAWhite: The FPGA generates a white test image.

•GreyDiagonalRamp: The sensor generates a test image with a diagonal gradient. The gradient starts at zero intensity and reaches the maximum intensity in a diagonal direction.

•GreyDiagonalRampMoving: The sensor generates a test image with a moving diagonal gradient. The gradient starts at zero intensity and reaches the maximum intensity in a diagonal direction. The ramp moves across the image.

•GreyHorizontalRamp: The sensor generates a test image with a horizontal gradient. The gradient starts at zero intensity and reaches the maximum intensity in a horizontal direction.

•GreyVerticalRamp: The sensor generates a test image with a vertical gradient. The gradient starts at zero intensity and reaches the maximum intensity in a vertical direction.

•GreyWedgeMovingSensor: The sensor generates a test image with moving grey wedges.

•GreyWedgeSensor: The sensor generates a test image with grey wedges.

•RampingPattern: The sensor generates a test image with a moving ramping pattern.

•SequencePattern1: The sensor generates a test image with defined sequential pixel values.

•SequencePattern2: The sensor generates a test image with defined sequential pixel values.

•White: The sensor generates a test image with the brightest possible image.

Code example

C++

// Determine the current entry of TestPattern
std::string value = nodeMapRemoteDevice->FindNode<peak::core::nodes::EnumerationNode>("TestPattern")->CurrentEntry()->SymbolicValue();
// Get a list of all available entries of TestPattern
auto allEntries = nodeMapRemoteDevice->FindNode<peak::core::nodes::EnumerationNode>("TestPattern")->Entries();
std::vector<std::shared_ptr<peak::core::nodes::EnumerationEntryNode>> availableEntries;
for(const auto & entry : allEntries)
{
  if ((entry->AccessStatus()!=peak::core::nodes::NodeAccessStatus::NotAvailable)
          && (entry->AccessStatus()!=peak::core::nodes::NodeAccessStatus::NotImplemented))
  {
      availableEntries.emplace_back(entry);
  }
}
// Set TestPattern to "Off"
nodeMapRemoteDevice->FindNode<peak::core::nodes::EnumerationNode>("TestPattern")->SetCurrentEntry("Off");

C#

  if ((allEntries[i].AccessStatus() != peak.core.nodes.NodeAccessStatus.NotAvailable)
          && (allEntries[i].AccessStatus() != peak.core.nodes.NodeAccessStatus.NotImplemented))
  {
      availableEntries.Add(allEntries[i].SymbolicValue());
  }
}
// Set TestPattern to "Off"
nodeMapRemoteDevice.FindNode<peak.core.nodes.EnumerationNode>("TestPattern").SetCurrentEntry("Off");
