SENSOR FEATURE SELECTOR

Selector description

XI_SENSOR_FEATURE_ZEROROT_ENABLE

Zero read-overhead-time (ROT) setting.

  • For camera model: MQ013xG-ON:
    • When XI_PRM_SENSOR_FEATURE_VALUE = XI_ON, the time needed between consequent live readouts is minimized. This allows higher frame-rate. The disadvantage is lowered dynamic range by 6dB compared to normal ROT.
    • When XI_PRM_SENSOR_FEATURE_VALUE = XI_OFF, the time needed between consequent live readouts is normal. The frame-rate is lower.

XI_SENSOR_FEATURE_ACQUISITION_RUNNING

Current status of acquisition.

  • For camera families: CB, MC, MX, MT:
    • When XI_PRM_SENSOR_FEATURE_VALUE = XI_ON, the acquisition is running.
    • When XI_PRM_SENSOR_FEATURE_VALUE = XI_OFF, the acquisition is stopped.
    • Note: Application can stop just acquisition of the sensor without freeing of image buffers by setting this value to 0. Then acquisition could be resumed by setting 1. It is also much faster compared to xiStopAcquisition/xiStartAcquisition.

XI_SENSOR_FEATURE_MD_FPGA_DIGITAL_GAIN_DISABLE

Disabling of digital component of gain.

  • For camera families: MD:
    • When XI_PRM_SENSOR_FEATURE_VALUE = XI_ON, digital component of gain is disabled.
    • When XI_PRM_SENSOR_FEATURE_VALUE = XI_OFF, digital component of gain is enabled.

XI_SENSOR_FEATURE_TIMING_MODE

Used for switching between different timing modes for the sensor/camera.

  • For camera model: CB042MG-GP-BSI:
    • When XI_PRM_SENSOR_FEATURE_VALUE = 1, the sensor is is able to deliver 90 FPS.
    • When XI_PRM_SENSOR_FEATURE_VALUE = 0, the sensor is running in default timing mode.

XI_SENSOR_FEATURE_PARALLEL_ADC

Parallel ADC readout.

  • For cameras with sensor IMX411:
    • When XI_PRM_SENSOR_FEATURE_VALUE = 1, the sensor Parallel ADC is enabled.
    • When XI_PRM_SENSOR_FEATURE_VALUE = 0, the sensor Parallel ADC is disabled.
