Specifications

directly in SIPS camera control tool, limiting camera resolution this way is

not very convenient when multiple frames of different types (light, dark,

flat) are acquired. If for instance the user wants to use only center area of a

large CCD because the optics used cannot utilize such large CCD detector,

it is possible to read only a sub-frame (sub-frame 512, 512, 3072, 3072

converts 16Mpx G4-16000 camera into 9MPx camera). But different sub-

frame is used e.g. when focusing the camera and it is necessary to properly

restore above mentioned subframe before each dark, light of flat field is

acquired. And 1 pixel difference between light and dark frame harms the

possibility to properly calibrate images.

This is why the 'gxusb.dll' and 'gxeth' drivers allow definition of sub frame

in the appropriate .ini file in the “[crop]” section:

[crop]

x = 512

y = 512

w = 3072

h = 3072

Such camera will report resolution 3072 × 3072 pixels to SIPS and all other

sub-frames, defined in the SIPS camera control tools, will be related to the

above defined subframe.

Camera Connection

Camera connection is pretty easy. Plug the power supply into the camera

and connect the camera to the computer USB port using the supplied USB
