setting). When Center Y is enabled, the camera will automatically center the AOI along the sensor’s
Y axis (and will disable the Offset Y setting).
For more information about how changing the AOI size affects the maximum allowed frame rate,
see Section 7.8 on page 117.
10.3.1 Setting the Image AOI
By default, the AOI is set to use the full resolution of the camera’s sensor. You can change the size
and the position of the AOI by changing the value of the camera’s Offset X, Offset Y, Width, and
Height parameters. You can also enable automatic centering using the Center X and Center Y
parameters.
When you are setting the camera’s area of interest, you must follow these guidelines:
On all camera models:
The sum of the Offset X setting plus the Width setting must not exceed the width of the
camera’s sensor. For example, on the acA2000-340km, the sum of the Offset X setting plus
the Width setting must not exceed 2048.
The sum of the Offset Y setting plus the Height setting must not exceed the height of the
camera’s sensor. For example, on the acA2000-340km, the sum of the Offset Y setting plus
the Height setting must not exceed 1088.
On monochrome camera models:
The Offset Y and Height parameters can each be set in increments of 1.
The Offset X and Width parameters can be set in increments of:
2 on a camera set for the 1X2-1Y Camera Link tap geometry
3 on a camera set for the 1X3-1Y Camera Link tap geometry
4 on a camera set for the 1X4-1Y Camera Link tap geometry
6 on a camera set for the 1X6-1Y Camera Link tap geometry
8 on a camera set for the 1X6-1Y Camera Link tap geometry
10 on a camera set for the 1X10-1Y Camera Link tap geometry
On color camera models:
The Offset Y and Height parameters can each be set in increments of 2.
The Offset X and Width parameters can be set in increments of:
2 on a camera set for the 1X2-1Y Camera Link tap geometry
6 on a camera set for the 1X3-1Y Camera Link tap geometry
4 on a camera set for the 1X4-1Y Camera Link tap geometry
6 on a camera set for the 1X6-1Y Camera Link tap geometry
8 on a camera set for the 1X6-1Y Camera Link tap geometry
10 on a camera set for the 1X10-1Y Camera Link tap geometry
