3.12.2 Customizable Formats and Modes on
the A101f Monochrome Camera
The following customizable video formats and modes are available on the A101f:
Format_7, Mode_0
Format_7, Mode_0 is available on the A101f. In this format and mode, the camera’s output will be
mono, 8 bits/pixel.
Format_7, Mode_0 is used to enable and set up the area of interest (AOI) feature described in
Section 3.8. The maximum allowed frame rate in this mode depends on the size of the AOI. The
formula shown on page 4-15 can be used to calculate the highest allowed frame rate for any size
AOI.
When the camera is operating in Format_7, Mode_0, the frame rate can be adjusted by setting
the number of bytes that are transmitted in each packet. The number of bytes per packet is set
using the BytePerPacket field of the BYTE_PER_PACKET control register that has been
established for Format_7, Mode_0.
The value that appears in the MaxBytePerPacket field of the PACKET_PARA_INQ control
register will show the maximum allowed setting for the bytes per packet. When the bytes per
packet is set to the maximum, the camera will transmit frames at the maximum allowed frame rate
for the AOI size you have defined. By default, the bytes per packet are set to the maximum.
