This parameter offers several smart ways to adjust the grabbing window inside the camera active window.

For area-scan cameras, the grabbing window is inferred from the camera active rectangular window. When GrabWindow=MAN, parameters WindowX_Px, WindowY_Ln, OffsetX_Px and OffsetY_Ln define size and position of the grabbing window.

The camera windowing mode is activated through the WOI value. This mode is deactivated by setting GrabWindow to another value. This value is only available on Grablink Expert 2 with the Teli CSB1100CL and CSB4000CL cameras.

For line-scan cameras, the width of the grabbing window is inferred from the camera active linear window. When GrabWindow=MAN, parameters WindowX_Px and OffsetX_Px define width and position of the grabbing window.

Possible values

Name

Identifier

Description

NOBLACK

MC_GrabWindow_NOBLACK

The grabbing window automatically assumes the largest size avoiding any inactive camera pixel.

NOLOSS

MC_GrabWindow_NOLOSS

The grabbing window automatically assumes the smallest size encompassing all camera active pixels.

STD

MC_GrabWindow_STD

The horizontal and vertical pixel counts of the grabbing window are restricted to a finite set of standard values. Default

MAN

MC_GrabWindow_MAN

The grabbing window size is defined by separate parameters, and the pixel aspect ratio remains unchanged.

WOI

MC_GrabWindow_WOI

The camera windowing mode is activated and the grabbing window automatically assumes the largest size avoiding any inactive camera pixel (NOBLACK).
This value is applicable exclusively on Grablink Expert 2.
