1. Exposure Mode and Line Frame Rate 03 032 20072 03 How to Set Exposure Mode and Line Frame Rate You have a choice of operating the camera in one of two exposure modes Depending on your mode of operation the camera s line frame rate synchronization can be generated internally through the software command ssf or set externally with an EXSYNC signal CC1 When operating in TDI Mode it is important that the line rate used matches the web speed Failure to match the web speed will result in smearing Refer to the application note Line Scan TDI Line Scan Calculation Worksheet located on the Knowledge Center page of our website here for a further explanation on how to synchronize your web speed To select how you want the camera s line frame rate to be generated 1 You must first set the camera s exposure mode using the sem command Refer to section Setting the Exposure Mode below for details 2 Next if using mode 7 use the command ssf to set the line frame rate Refer to section Setting Frame Rate for details Teledyne DALSA Piranha HS S0 12K40 00 R User Manual 25 Purpose Sets the camera s exposure mode allowing you to control your sync and line frame rate generation Syntax sem m Syntax Elements m Exposure mode to use Factory setting is 7 Notes e Refer to Table 7 Piranha HS Exposure Modes for a quick list of available modes or to the following sections for a more detailed expla
2. Set the camera s bit depth using the set data width command The command is in the form sdw f where the f parameter is 8 10 or 12 corresponding to 8 10 or 12 bit outputs respectively For example to set an 8 bit output use the command sdw 8 Save the selected bit depth using the write user settings command wus Note For 8 and 10 bit depths the number of lanes must be set to 5 in Sapera For 12 bit depth the number of lanes must be set to 6 in Sapera Do this manually For quick help the camera can return all available commands and parameters through the serial interface There are two different help screens available One lists all of the available commands to configure camera operation The other help screen lists all of the commands available for retrieving camera parameters these are called get commands To view the help screen listing all of the camera configuration commands use the command Syntax h To view a help screen listing all of the get commands use the command Syntax gh Notes For more information on the camera s get commands refer to section Returning Camera Settings The camera configuration command help screen lists all commands available Parameter ranges displayed are the extreme ranges available Depending on the current camera operating conditions you may not be able to obtain these values If this occurs values are clipped and the camera returns a warning message
