Editing Standard Allen–Bradley Cameras

When you highlight one of the standard camera types in the

Camera Type

scrolling list panel and then pick the

button below the panel, a

Camera Type

edit panel appears. Figure 3.24 shows the edit panel for the

2801–YC “standard” camera. The parameters shown in shaded type are the
ones that cannot be changed for standard Allen–Bradley cameras. For these
cameras, only a few of the horizontal and vertical timing parameters can be
changed.

Although these parameters can be adjusted, the default values for the current
standard Allen–Bradley cameras are normally appropriate for most
applications.

The effect of adjusting the

Horizontal Timing

parameters is described

briefly, as follows:

Acq. Pixels (Pixels) –– This parameter indicates the number of pixels that
are acquired across the image horizontally. Normally, the default setting of
512 is appropriate; however, the

Acq.Phase (Pixels)

value can be set within

the following range:

64

x

Value

x

640

* 2(

Acq. Phase

)

Figure 3.25 (page 3–35) shows the effects of changing the value of the

Acq.

Pixels (Pixels)

parameter to 640 (the maximum) and 64 (the minimum). As

the examples in Figure 3.25 show, the effect of increasing the value is to
acquire the image, up to its full width (640 pixels), while the effect of
decreasing the value is to truncate the image equally on both sides of the
image. In this case, only the center 64 pixels of the image is acquired.
