Operation and Features
BASLER A101f 3-23
DRAFT
The maximum bytes per packet will vary depending on the size of the AOI. This occurs to avoid
image buffer under-runs. The rate of image data flowing out of the image buffer must be correctly
balanced against the amount of image data entering the buffer.
If you set the bytes per packet to a value lower than the maximum allowed, the camera will
transmit frames at a lower rate. The rate is calculated by the formula:
The value that appears in the UnitBytePerPacket field of the PACKET_PARA_INQ control register
will show the minimum allowed setting for the bytes per packet. The bytes per packet must not be
set lower than the minimum.
The minimum bytes per packet will vary depending on the size of the AOI. This occurs because
of hardware limits on the link layer controller.
Format_7, Mode_1
Format_7, Mode_1 is available on the A101f. In this format and mode, the camera’s output will be
mono, 8 bits/pixel.
Format_7, Mode_1 is used to enable horizontal binning as described in Section 3.7. The
maximum allowed frame rate in this mode is 11.75 frames/sec. The frame rate can be adjusted
using the same method as described for Format_7, Mode_0.
Format_7, Mode_2
Format_7, Mode_2 is available on the A101f. In this format and mode, the camera’s output will be
mono, 8 bits/pixel.
Format_7, Mode_2 is used to enable vertical binning as described in Section 3.7. The maximum
allowed frame rate in this mode is 22.89 frames/sec The frame rate can be adjusted using the
same method as described for Format_7, Mode_0.
Format_7, Mode_3
Format_7, Mode_3 is available on the A101f. In this format and mode, the camera’s output will be
mono, 8 bits/pixel.
Format_7, Mode_3 is used to enable full binning as described in Section 3.7. The maximum
allowed frame rate in this mode is 22.89 frames/sec. The frame rate can be adjusted using the
same method as described for Format_7, Mode_0.
*
When the camera is operating in Format_7, Mode_0, in Format_7, Mode_1, in Format
_7, Mode_2, or in Format_7, Mode_3, the CUR_V_FRAME_RATE control register is
not used and has no effect on camera operation.
