Laser Profiler Parameters Available in GenICam Client

This topic introduces the laser profiler parameters available and adjustable in GenICam clients, as well as the correspondence of these parameters with those available in Mech-Eye Viewer.

Parameter Correspondence

The parameters available in GenICam clients generally correspond with those available in Mech-Eye Viewer. Mech-Eye Viewer provides information including description and value range of the parameters, which can be helpful for adjusting the parameters in the GenICam client.

The following table provides the parameter correspondence:

Adjust HDR Exposure Settings

The procedure of adjusting the HDR exposure settings in GenICam clients differ significantly from that in Mech-Eye Viewer. This section explains the specific procedure in GenICam clients.

  1. Set ExposureMode to HDR.

  2. Set the total exposure time through ExposureTime.

  3. Set the exposure phase to be adjusted next through MultiSlopeKneePointSelector. 0 corresponds to the first exposure phase, and 1 corresponds to the second exposure phase.

  4. Set the proportion of the current exposure phase in the total exposure time through MultiSlopeSaturationThreshold.

  5. Set the grayscale threshold of the current exposure phase through MultiSlopeExposureLimit (First threshold and Second threshold in Mech-Eye Viewer).

  6. If you need to adjust the other exposure phase, repeat steps 3 to 5.
