Interface-Specific Options

FrameGrabber_Type - This setting is a decimal value that defines the imaging hardware. The options are:

201 = IDS Falcon

202 = IDS Eagle

203 = IDS uEye

204 = IDS uEyePlus

401 = HP-C-T

FrameGrabber_CameraType - This setting is a decimal value that defines the camera's format. The options are:

0 = NTSCYC

1 = PALYC

2 = NTSC

3 = PAL

4 = CCIR (monochrome)

101 = Configurable (uEye, uEyePlus, and HP-C-T)

FrameGrabber_ConfigFile - This setting defines the frame grabber configuration file name. You must specify a configuration file name for camera types of 101.

The file name should have a "CAMERA_" prefix (for example, "CAMERA_5240C_1.ini" or "CAMERA_2030M_1.cset" or "CAMERA_HP_C_T_1.ini") and you should save it to the "ProgramData" area (*) of your hard drive. The FrameGrabber_ConfigFile setting should then specify the camera name without including a full path. If the file is located in the "ProgramData" area and conforms to the "CAMERA_*.INI" wildcard search pattern, PC-DMIS will automatically copy or migrate these files when you upgrade  versions. PC-DMIS will also include the files when you perform a Settings Editor backup or restore operation with the System Files option selected.

* The "ProgramData" area is typically C:\ProgramData\Hexagon\PC-DMIS\<version>, where <version> is the version of PC-DMIS you have installed.

Although not generally recommended, it is possible to place the file in other locations if you include a full path specification in this setting. If you do, PC-DMIS will not include the files in any version migration or Settings Editor backup or restore operation.

FrameGrabber_LatchingMode - This setting is a decimal value that defines the latching mode for specific systems. An example is a system with an FDC controller, which has hardware that supports the synchronization of an image frame capture and the stage position. For more details, see "Latching".

The options are:

0 = No latching or HP-C-T

1 = uEyePlus camera latching

3 = Frame grabber latching (Eagle)

24 = uEye camera latching
