The STD Method

Upon setting the parameter to the STD value, the grabbing window is adjusted to a size expressed by numbers taken from a set of definite values.

The number of active columns is computed from the camera timing definition and the grabber's sampling frequency.

The number of active lines is computed from the camera timing definition and from the possible frame or field acquisition modality.

These numbers are "rounded" to standard values according to the following rules:

Active columns

Grabbing window width

Active lines

Grabbing window height

304 to 485

320

236 to 243

240

486 to 607

512

244 to 475

608 to 729

476 to 571

Do not use STD for smaller grabbing windows.

The WindowX_Px and WindowY_Ln parameters are adjusted to the above-mentioned values.

Thereafter, the user is allowed to readjust the grabbing window position by amending OffsetX_Px and OffsetY_Ln to non-zero values.

The grabber's sampling frequency, which can differ from the camera's pixel clock frequency when analog or master synchronization is used, remains unchanged when GrabWindow is set to STD.
