Load and apply camera features settings stored in a PixeLINK Camera Configuration (.pcc) file.
Save the current camera settings to disk, in a PixeLINK Camera Configuration (.pcc) file. Note that descriptors and the lookup table are saved in the exported file. File paths (such as for image capture) are not saved.
Shut down PixeLINK Capture OEM.
Switch to PixeLINK Capture OEM’s advanced mode, which gives you access to additional camera control functions. After the first session, PixeLINK Capture OEM starts with the last mode used.
Change the float setting of the application. When this is switched on, PixeLINK Capture OEM will always remain on top of other windows on the computer desktop; otherwise, other windows can overlap it.
Reset the preview window dimensions to correspond to the current ROI and Pixel Addressing mode. If the current ROI is too large too fit on your desktop, the window size will be reduced.
The preview window can be resized manually by dragging its edges, or by clicking its Maximize icon. This will not affect the number of pixels (vertically or horizontally) in the image. Note that resizing the preview window may lower performance as Windows uses more processing power to stretch the image data to fit the display.
When this setting is turned on, the preview will automatically resize itself after any change to the ROI or Pixel Addressing mode.
Restore PixeLINK Capture OEM to its default settings. See Application Defaults for more information.
Open a window with a histogram displaying the distribution of pixel values in the output image. See sample image
Clear the API Call Log or Filter its contents by API command or camera feature call.
Load feature settings (factory defaults or custom) from the camera’s non-volatile memory.
Save the current feature settings to the camera’s non-volatile memory.
Give the active camera a name for easier reference. This name is stored in the camera’s non-volatile memory.
Puts the application in a state where the frame rate will be maintained at a fraction of the available maximum frame rate. This is useful on laptop computers or slower desktop computers that are not able to process frames at the full frame rate.
