Setting and getting parameters

Capture parameters

This set of functions specifies the camera's image capture parameters, such as exposure, pixel clock and frame rate:

is_ColorTemperature()	Sets the color temperature
is_Exposure()	Returns the adjustable exposure range.
is_GetFramesPerSecond()	Returns the current frame rate in live mode.
is_GetFrameTimeRange()	Returns the adjustable frame rate range.
is_PixelClock()	Returns the adjustable pixel clock range.
is_SetSaturation()	Sets color saturation
is_SetAutoParameter()	Enables/disables automatic imaging functions.
is_Blacklevel()	Turns black level correction on/off.
is_Exposure()	Sets the exposure time.
is_SetFrameRate()	Sets the frame rate.
is_SetGainBoost()	Sets additional sensor hardware gain boost.
is_Gamma()	Sets the gamma value (digital post-processing).
is_DeviceFeature()	Enables/disables the Global Start shutter.
is_SetHardwareGain()	Enables the sensor gain.
is_SetHardwareGamma()	Sets the sensor gamma control.
is_SetHWGainFactor()	Sets the sensor gain factor.
is_PixelClock()	Sets the pixel clock frequency.
is_EdgeEnhancement()	Sets a software edge filter
is_ResetToDefault()	Resets the camera parameters to its default values.

Image geometry

This set of functions lets you influence the image geometry for image capture, e.g. the area of interest:

is_ImageFormat()	Sets a predefined image size
is_AOI()	Sets the size and position of an area of interest (AOI) or of a reference AOI for auto imaging functions.
is_SetBinning()	Sets the binning modes.
is_SetRopEffect()	Makes real-time geometry changes to an image (Rop = raster operation)
is_SetSensorScaler()	Scales the image in the camera
is_SetSubSampling()	Sets the subsampling modes.
is_Zoom()	Sets the digital zoom (only specific models)

Processing image data

The following set of functions refers to the further processing of image data in the PC:

is_GetColorDepth()	Determines the desktop color mode set in the graphics card.
is_GetTimeout()	Returns the user-defined timeout values.
is_HotPixel()	Enables and configures the hot pixel correction.
is_SetColorConverter()	Selects Bayer conversion mode.
is_SetColorCorrection()	Sets color correction.
is_SetColorMode()	Selects a color mode.
is_Convert()	Conversion parameters for raw Bayer conversion.
is_EdgeEnhancement()	Sets edge enhancement.
is_SetSaturation()	Sets the image saturation (digital post-processing).
is_SetSensorTestImage()	Enables test image output from sensor.
is_SetTimeout()	Sets user-defined timeout values.
