3 Using the Image Acquisition Tool GUI
3-14
The Selected source field specifies the name of the selected source for the current
device. Many device adaptors only have one input source, so for example, this might show
something like input1, port1, or input0 by default. If your device supports multiple
source names, they will appear in the drop-down list.
Use the Properties area to view or edit properties:
• If a property has an edit box or slider, 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 not currently
editable.
Changes you make in the Properties area are applied to your acquisition or preview
dynamically. For example, to change the exposure for the camera you are using, edit
the value in the Exposure property text field or use the slider to change it. You will
immediately see the change in the Preview window if you are previewing at the time,
or in the next acquisition when you click the Start Acquisition button.
Click the Reset to defaults button to undo any modifications you made and restore the
default settings of the device.
