3 Using the Image Acquisition Tool GUI

Use the properties table to view or edit properties:

• If a property has a pencil icon in the value column of the table, then that

value is editable.

• If a property has an arrow indicating a drop-down list, then you can select

a value from the list.

• If a property has a value listed that is grayed out, then that value is no t

editable.

Changes you make in the Device Properties table are applied to your

acquisit ion or preview, once you click outsideofthetablecellyouareediting

or press Enter. For example, to change the brightness the camera is using,

edit the value in the

Brightness row, and then click outside that row for the

change to take effect. You will immediately see the change in the Preview

window if you are previewin g at the time, or in the next acquisi tio n when

you click the Start Acquisition button.

For more information about device-specific properties, see your device’s

documentation.

Note About Frame Rate

FrameRate appears in the table, that means your device has a FrameRate

property. The information in the table comes from your dev ice. The value set

there will be the frame rate that your device uses, in frames per second.

FrameRate does not appear in the table, your device does not support that

property.
