Configuring the Camera
BASLER A101f 4-1
DRAFT
4 Configuring the Camera
The A101f is configured by setting status and control registers as described in version 1.20 of the
“1394-Based Digital Camera Specification” issued by the 1394 Trade Association. (The
specification is available at the 1394 Trade Association’s web site: www.1394ta.org.)
If you are creating your own driver to operate the camera, Sections 4.1 through 4.5 provide the
basic information that you will need about the registers implemented in the camera along with
some information about read/write capabilities.
A fully functional driver is available for Basler IEEE 1394 cameras such as the
A101f. The Basler
BCAM 1394 Driver includes an API that allows a C++ programmer to easily integrate camera
configuration and operating functions into your system control software. The driver also includes
a Windows
®
based viewer program that provides camera users with quick and simple tools for
changing camera settings and viewing captured images.
The BCAM 1394 Driver is supplied with comprehensive documentation including a programmer’s
guide and code samples. For more information, visit the Basler web site at: www.basler-vc.com.
