Description
ExposureTime false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_DOUBLE OPERATOR The expousre time in seconds for the camera.
Changing the exposure time is also possible in live mode.
Check camera manual for min/max value.
DelayTime false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_DOUBLE OPERATOR Delay in seconds between the trigger and the start of image acquisition.
Changing the delay time is also possible in live mode.
NbFrames false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_LONG OPERATOR The number of frames to be acquired by the
StartStandardAcq command.
TriggerMode false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_SHORT OPERATOR The supported trigger modes for PCO cameras are:
0 = Auto sequence (free running)
1 = Software trigger (external signal not used)
2 = External Trigger : A delay / exposure sequence is started
at the RISING or FALLING edge (depending onthe DIP switch setting) of the trigger input.
3 = External gate : The exposure time is defined by the pulse
length at the trigger input.
FileSaving false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_BOOLEAN OPERATOR Save a file for every image taken when true.
Running in live mode with file saving set to true,
will result in a saved image file for every acquired image!
FileDir false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_STRING OPERATOR Path to the camera image files.
FilePrefix false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_STRING OPERATOR The prefix of the image files to be created.
The full image file name will be composed as


prefix_number.postfix


when acquiring images.
FileStartNum false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_LONG OPERATOR The file number used when storing an image file.
After saving a file, this number gets increased by one.
To override an image file, the file number has to be set again.
FilePostfix false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_STRING OPERATOR The Pco server allows the following postfix:


.tif = 16 bit monochrome tif image file


.bin = Binary data file without header.
A text file with the same name contains the image charcteristics.


The postfix determines the image format for the saved
image files.
Width false false Scalar READ Tango::DEV_LONG OPERATOR The maximum image width without an applied ROI.
Heigth false false Scalar READ Tango::DEV_LONG OPERATOR The maximum image height without an applied ROI.
ImageCounter false false Scalar READ Tango::DEV_LONG OPERATOR Counts the images acquired via the device server.
The count increases, when a new image is ready for
reading.
Binning_x false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_SHORT OPERATOR Binning to apply in X (width).
Binning_y false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_SHORT OPERATOR Binning to applied in Y (height)
ROI_x_min false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_LONG OPERATOR Position of the left ROI edge in the image.
Check X step value in Status.
ROI_x_max false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_LONG OPERATOR Position of the right ROI edge in the image.
Check X step value in Status.
ROI_y_min false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_LONG OPERATOR Position of the upper ROI edge in the image.
Check Y step value in Status.
ROI_y_max false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_LONG OPERATOR Position of the lower ROI edge in the image.
Check Y step value in Status.
Pixelrate false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_LONG OPERATOR The frequency of the pixel clock in MHz.
For a PCO 4000 camera this can be 8 MHz or 32 MHz.
For a PCO Edge camera this can be 95 MHz or 286 MHz.
For a PCO Edge 4.2 camera this can be 95 MHz or 272 MHz.
ADCs false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_SHORT OPERATOR The number of ADCs to use for the image acquisition.
2 ADCs for a faster readout and 1 ADC for a better
linearity.
CoolingTempSet false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_SHORT OPERATOR The temperature setpoint of the ccd sensor cooling.
CoolingTemp false false Scalar READ Tango::DEV_DOUBLE OPERATOR The actual temperature of the ccd sensor.
ImageTimeStamp false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_BOOLEAN OPERATOR Write a time stamp in the acquired image.
BufferSizeInImages false false Scalar READ Tango::DEV_LONG OPERATOR buffer length
RecorderMode false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_LONG OPERATOR 0: recorder mode + sequence buffer.
1: recorder mode + ring buffer
2: FIFO buffer mode
TimePerFrame false false Scalar READ Tango::DEV_DOUBLE OPERATOR time of each image. unit:second
FramesPerFile false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_LONG OPERATOR Once the number of frame is reached, the current file is closed and new file is created.
LiveImage false false Image READ Tango::DEV_USHORT OPERATOR
