Capture

The sensor cropping feature allows for a flexible definition of the AROI leading to a reduction in acquisition time.

Define the AROI in two ways:

By entering parameters in the

AROI Settings

section.

By drawing a region directly in the

Image Viewer

window.

In the top-left corner of the Image Viewer, you will find the current values for

Acquisition time

, defining the maximum possible value for the

Exposure

and

Frame rate

.

When editing, remember:

The AROI must be defined before switching to other tabs.

After adding a tool in the

Build

tab, the AROI cannot be changed.

The Long exposure option becomes unavailable.

Sensor Settings
Item	Description
Sensor Details	This section contains important sensor parameters, including: Sensor resolution Offset step Resolution step Minimal resolution
Sensor Cropping	Enable to configure AROI settings. When enabled, the Image Viewer displays the Acquisition time and Frame rate.
AROI Settings	X – starting point on the x-axis with minimum, maximum value, and step Y – starting point on the y-axis with minimum, maximum value, and step Width – width resolution with minimum, maximum value and step Height – height resolution with minimum, maximum value, and step

Trigger Settings
Item	Description
Source	Select the trigger source from GPIO, Device Trigger, Serial, PLC, TCP/IP Auto(Self), or Test Trigger.
Job Mode	Select the Job Mode between Single Shot, Level Continuous, Series (Burst), Presentation (Aggregate Mode), Periodic Single Shot, Continuous, Presentation
Show Image	Enable to configure Show Image settings. When enabled, the device sends the images back to Aurora Focus, which takes cycle time. To speed up job times, configure these settings to reduce or disable the frequency of image transmission.
Show Image Mode	Determine the method to updating shown images.
Update Every	Determine how frequently shown images are updated per inspection.
Triggered Image Buffering	Buffer images for triggers received while a job is in progress.
Maximum Image Queue Size	Determine the maximum number of images that can be queued before they are dropped from the queue.
Drop Mode	Determine the approach to drop images when the queue is full.

Acquisition Settings determine the configuration used to capture images with the device.

Acquisition
Setting	Description
Barcode Autotune	Force an automatic tune procedure, configuring the camera to read the barcode or Datamatrix and adjust. Exposure , Gain Factor and Focus .
Autotune Settings	Open the dialog to adjust the Autotune Settings.
Image Perfect+ Setup	The setup list on the left is the possible configuration for ImagePerfect+.
Add Settings	Use this command to add a new setup to Image Perfect+
Name	Assign a name for the Image Acquisition Setup
Exposure	Exposure time in ms.
Long Exposure	Activate this option to adjust the exposure time from 33 to 750 ms.
Gain Factor	Use this slider to adjust the sensor gain factor from 0 to 100.
Focus	Use this slider to adjust the focus length.
Focus Unit	Select Millimeter, Inch, or Dioptor to configure the focus measurement units on the device. Depending on the hardware version of your device, Millimeter and Inch measurements are available in addition to Diopter . While the millimeter and inch distance values calculated in the application may differ slightly from the actual distance value, this does not impact the device’s performance.
Aiming Configuration	Enabling this feature projects an aiming pattern onto the surface where the camera is pointing, helping to position the camera by identifying the focal point of the field of view.
Internal Illumination	This setting is only available with Unrestricted USB Power, PoE, and 24V external power. Select the Light Intensity (0-10V), color (red, white, green, IR), and quadrant (top, bottom, left, right) of the 360° LED light.
Light Intensity	Use the slider to increase light intensity by sliding to the right. Minimum: 1 Default: 4 Maximum: 10
Red Light	Top: enable this setting to use the top illuminator on the device. Bottom: enable this setting to use the bottom illuminator on the device. Right: enable this setting to use the suitable illuminator on the device. Left: enable this setting to use the left illuminator on the device.
External Illumination	Internal and External illumination can be activated simultaneously on FS42 devices while connected to a 24V DC power supply. Select the Light Intensity (0-10V).
Light Intensity	This controls the analog voltage pin on the Analog Output Pin. Minimum: 1 Default: 8 Maximum: 10
