3.3Configuring the Internal Frame Grabber

The integrated camera software updates the internal frame grabber settings automatically. Also, because the internal frame grabber configuration is independent of the imager configuration, you can set up (that is, “window”) the internal frame grabber separately, for example, the Image Settings tab in the integrated camera software. This has the added benefit of reducing unnecessary traffic on the GigE network, and freeing bandwidth for other cameras.

3.4 Modes

This section includes examples of various types of setup actions available through the camera configuration dialog box.

3.4.1Check the Current Camera Setting

You can manually send camera commands from the Serial Free Form tab of the Configuration window shown in Figure 12. Use the serial port and click the CR check box. Enter :RPST and click Send to get the current camera setting. For detailed information about the current camera setting, refer to Table 4 on page 27.
