*NOTE: If the Impact device is Online when any Image Scan value is changed, the device stays Online but
camera triggers are temporarily disabled and the image buffer is reallocated based on the new value. The
image currently in the image buffer may be overwritten when a new image is acquired based on the new
Image Scan value.
Camera Setup Tab
NOTE: Access to functions on this panel may be limited based on a user’s access level and while the device
is online.
Datalogic’s digital cameras contain no hardware switches so all operating parameters must be set from the
VPM Settings Tab - Camera System Object. This section provides details about each of the Camera System
Object Setup tab options. (Available options are dependent on camera type.) Some of these options may also
be modified dynamically using the Device Settings tool. (See “Device Settings” on page 3-214)
Units Per Pixel Units per Pixel is the scale factor for converting measurements in the
image to "real-world" units. See “Calibrate Manually” on page 2-29 for
details.
