FireBird Frame Grabbers – Quickstart Guide v2.4
1. The image can be zoomed in or out
using the zoom controls, or the "+"
and "-" keys on the keyboard, or the
mouse wheel.
2. The Feature Browser shows the
available features for the device
selected in the Device List.
Any feature that is not greyed out
can be changed. Note that many
features are greyed out while
acquisition is in progress – first stop
acquistion to change them.
The FireBird features for pixel
format, width and height are
automatically set to match the
camera. Therefore to change the
values of these features, change
them on the camera.
3. The Feature Browser refreshes
visible features periodically while
the system is in use. With Camera
Link cameras this can be slow, and
turning off Polling can be useful.
The Refresh button can then be used
to update features on demand.
4. Clicking the Histogram button
displays a histogram and statistics
for the selected image, or by
entering coordinates, for just part of
the image.
Similarly, the 1D Profile button
shows the intensity profile of all or
part of a line or column.
5. The Console shows status
information and details of any error
messages.
