The Data Output Format of C4-1280-GigE
The image and 3D data output is performed by selecting the data channel DC0-DC2 (node Camera
Controls→DataOutput). Depending on the algorithm the data can be acquired by enabling the
corresponding output Data Channel (DC). Every DC is saved in a new image row. The bit depth of
output data depends on the selected algorithm. In 3D mode the camera outputs data with 16 bit. In
Image mode the camera can output 8 or 16 bit data. When in 8 bit Image mode, the DC0 delivers
the 8 most significant bits of the 10 bit intensity data.

Alg. Flags – Output over DC1 (16 bit mode):
Bit14 = LEFT_TRSH_FOUND_FLAG: indicates that the left edge of laser line was found
Bit15 = RIGHT_TRSH_FOUND_FLAG: indicates that the right edge of laser line was found
