Digital color camera Basler acA2000-340kc

Basler acA2000-340kc

Digital color camera based on CMOS sensor with maximal resolution 2046x1086 pixels. Equipped with Camera Link interface, requires a framegrabber to be connected to PC with proprietary software and drivers installed. Supports all Camera Link configurations (Base/Medium/Full) and Power over Camera Link (PoCL).

Camera settings

The camera can be configured through Basler Pylon Viewer software. To access all settings, select the "Guru" option in "Tools > Options > User Level". Remember that rebooting the camera will restore the default camera settings. The settings can be stored in User Configuration Sets in Basler Pylon Viewer for later use. Do not overwrite the User Set 3, which is currently used as the default startup set.

The camera settings have to be manually propagated to the framegrabber card in a camera configuration file, which specifies e.g. the layout of active image pixels. The camera configuration files are framegrabber-dependent, so the following description applies to BitFlow Neon-CLB.

To change the camera settings using a ready camera configuration file:

• Make sure that the camera is turned on (the status LED on its back shines). The camera can be woken up by launching the CiView utility from BitFlow SDK.
• Launch the SysReg utility from BitFlow SDK and select the framegrabber to configure. In the following dialog, select the desired camera configuration file and confirm the choice.
• Adjust the "Image Format Controls" and "AOI Controls" in Basler Pylon Viewer to match the settings specified in the registered camera configuration file.
• The settings can be checked through CiView utility from BitFlow SDK, which provides live camera image.

Extra camera configuration files can be created by editing existing *.r64 files in CamEd utility from BitFlow SDK and saving them as new files.

Do not connect/disconnect the camera to/from a framegrabber with enabled PoCL when the framegrabber is turned on. Doing so can damage the camera.
