Configuration.AcquireContinuous Method (ICamera)#

Changes the configuration of the camera to free-running continuous acquisition.

Syntax#

C#

public static void AcquireContinuous(
    ICamera camera
)

VB

Public Shared Sub AcquireContinuous ( 
    camera As ICamera
)

Parameters#

camera

Type: Basler.Pylon.ICamera
The camera to be configured.

Remarks#

The camera has to be opened before calling this function.

Configuration.AcquireContinuous Method (Object, EventArgs)#

Changes the configuration of the camera to free-running continuous acquisition.

Syntax#

C#

public static void AcquireContinuous(
    Object sender,
    EventArgs e
)

VB

Public Shared Sub AcquireContinuous ( 
    sender As Object,
    e As EventArgs
)

Parameters#

sender

Type: System.Object
The sender of the event.

e

Type: System.EventArgs
The event argument.

Remarks#

To automatically apply this configuration when the connection to the camera is opened, add it to the CameraOpened event before calling ICamera.Open().

Configuration.AcquireSingleFrame Method (ICamera)#

Changes the configuration of the camera to single frame acquisition.

Syntax#

C#

public static void AcquireSingleFrame(
    ICamera camera
)

VB

Public Shared Sub AcquireSingleFrame ( 
    camera As ICamera
)

Parameters#

camera

Type: Basler.Pylon.ICamera
The camera to be configured.

Remarks#

The camera has to be opened before calling this function. To maximize the frame rate, grabbing single images using a software trigger is recommended. Using a software trigger will reduce the overhead per grabbed image compared to single frame acquisition.

Configuration.AcquireSingleFrame Method (Object, EventArgs)#

Changes the configuration of the camera to single frame acquisition.

Syntax#

C#

public static void AcquireSingleFrame(
    Object sender,
    EventArgs e
)

VB

Public Shared Sub AcquireSingleFrame ( 
    sender As Object,
    e As EventArgs
)

Parameters#

sender

Type: System.Object
The sender of the event.

e

Type: System.EventArgs
The event argument.

Remarks#

To maximize the frame rate, grabbing single images using a software trigger is recommended. Using a software trigger will reduce the overhead per grabbed image compared to single frame acquisition. To automatically apply this configuration when the connection to the camera is opened, add it to the CameraOpened event before calling ICamera.Open().

Configuration.DisableAllTriggers Method#

Turns off all triggers enabled on the camera.

Syntax#

C#

public static void DisableAllTriggers(
    Object sender,
    EventArgs e
)

VB

Public Shared Sub DisableAllTriggers ( 
    sender As Object,
    e As EventArgs
)

Parameters#

sender

Type: System.Object
The sender of the event.

e

Type: System.EventArgs
The event argument.

Configuration.DisableCompression Method#

Disables compression on the camera.

Syntax#

C#

public static void DisableCompression(
    Object sender,
    EventArgs e
)

VB

Public Shared Sub DisableCompression ( 
    sender As Object,
    e As EventArgs
)

Parameters#

sender

Type: System.Object
The sender of the event.

e

Type: System.EventArgs
The event argument.

Remarks#

Not all cameras support compression. Therefore, this procedure doesn't always have an effect.

Configuration.DisableGenDC Method#

Disables GenDC streaming on the camera.

Syntax#

C#

public static void DisableGenDC(
    Object sender,
    EventArgs e
)

VB

Public Shared Sub DisableGenDC ( 
    sender As Object,
    e As EventArgs
)

Parameters#

sender

Type: System.Object
The sender of the event.

e

Type: System.EventArgs
The event argument.

Remarks#

Not all cameras support GenDC streaming. Therefore, this procedure doesn't always have an effect.

Configuration.ProbePacketSize Method#

Call Probe Packet Size to set maximum available packetsize to camera.

Syntax#

C#

public static void ProbePacketSize(
    Object sender,
    EventArgs e
)

VB

Public Shared Sub ProbePacketSize ( 
    sender As Object,
    e As EventArgs
)

Parameters#

sender

Type: System.Object
The sender of the event.

e

Type: System.EventArgs
The event argument.

Configuration.SelectRangeComponent Method#

Select a simple range component (if available).

Syntax#

C#

public static void SelectRangeComponent(
    Object sender,
    EventArgs e

    sender As Object,
    e As EventArgs
)

Parameters#

sender

Type: System.Object
The sender of the event.

e

Type: System.EventArgs
The event argument.

Remarks#

Not all cameras support a range component. Therefore, this procedure doesn't always have an effect.

Configuration.SoftwareTrigger Method (ICamera)#

Changes the configuration of the camera to software triggered acquisition.

Syntax#

C#

public static void SoftwareTrigger(
    ICamera camera
)

VB

Public Shared Sub SoftwareTrigger ( 
    camera As ICamera
)

Parameters#

camera

Type: Basler.Pylon.ICamera
