3-34 Basler L304kc
Draft
3.8 Stamp
The stamp feature provides the user with information about each captured line such as the sum
of the pixel values in the line and the contrast value of the line. When the stamp feature is enabled,
16 extra “stamp pixel” values are appended to each transmitted line. Each stamp pixel carries an
8 bit value that conveys information about the transmitted line.
Figure 3-24 illustrates how the stamp pixels are transmitted when the camera is set for 3 tap 8 bit
output mode and Figure 3-25 illustrates how the stamp pixels are transmitted when the camera is
set for 2 tap 8 bit or 2 tap 10 bit output mode.

When the camera is operating in an 8 bit output mode, the stamp pixels will be 8 bit
values. When the camera is operating in a 10 bit output mode, the stamp pixels will
be 10 bit values but only the 8 MSBs will carry information. The two LSBs will be
packed with zeros and should be ignored.
