This tab provides parameters for setting the IDS line scan ("AOI merge mode"), see camera basics: Line scan mode).
Fig. 140: uEye properties - Vertical AOI merge mode
Vertical AOI merge mode (IDS line scan)
This is a special mode which imitates the behavior of a line scan camera (see TechTip area vs. line scan cameras). This mode uses a special AOI which captures for monochrome sensors at least an AOI height of 1 line (or more) and for color sensors an AOI height of 2 lines (or more). Multiple of these AOIs are merged to an image and transferred. In this mode color images are possible as for Bayer color sensors 2 lines are used. Note that the hot pixel correction is not available in this mode.
In this mode a maximum image height of 8000 lines is possible depending on the model. That means that the number of AOIs which are merged to an image depends on the currently set AOI height (AOI merge mode height) and the camera model.
The images can be captured in free run or in trigger mode. In the following the triggering event for the image is referred to as frame trigger. For the image the trigger pin is used as hardware trigger. The single AOIs of the sensor are triggered via the line trigger. The single AOIs can be requested either in free run or in trigger mode. For the single AOIs the GPIO 1 or GPIO 2 can be used as hardware trigger.
|
If a hardware trigger is used for frame or line trigger, you must set the value for the trigger timeout manually. |
For special applications an extended AOI merge mode is available. In this mode, the resulting image will be made up of two different AOIs. For example the total AOI of a color sensor (with an AOI height of 4) is made up of the single AOIs of the first and second position which each has a height of 2. The total AOIs are combined to an image like in the normal AOI merge mode. Per image a maximum of 4000 lines (mono) or 4000 double lines (color) can be combined.
|
Note the following for the extended AOI merge mode: •The height of each single AOI is half of the height in normal AOI merge mode. Therefore, only even AOI heights are possible. •The setting range for the additional position depends on the total AOI height and the first position. The setting range of the second position changes when the first position is changed. |
•Via the selection list the AOI merge mode is enabled which combines the lines of an AOI to a new image (see is_DeviceFeature()).
The following modes are available (depending on camera model):

•Line position
Sets the line position (see is_DeviceFeature(), IS_DEVICE_FEATURE_CMD_SET_VERTICAL_AOI_MERGE_POSITION)
•Line position2 (Enable)
Enables the second AOI for the extended AOI merge mode.
•Line position 2
Sets the line position for the second AOI of the extended AOI merge mode (see is_DeviceFeature(), IS_DEVICE_FEATURE_CMD_SET_VERTICAL_AOI_MERGE_ADDITIONAL_POSITION)
•Number of lines
Sets the height of the AOI merge mode (see is_DeviceFeature(), IS_DEVICE_FEATURE_CMD_SET_VERTICAL_AOI_MERGE_HEIGHT)
Flashing per line
Note that depending on the set line rate, the optocoupler of the flash output may be too slow if the flash output is set to flash high active or flash low active. In this case, use a GPIO as flash output because the GPIO have no optocoupler.
