The sample programs of Sentech SDK are copied in below folder if installation folder did not change while Sentech SDK installation:
C:\Program Files\OMRON_SENTECH\SentechSDK\Development

When “Development” folder does not exist, re-install Sentech SDK with “Complete” installation type.

The folder for sample programs:
C:\Program Files\OMRON_SENTECH\SentechSDK\v(version)\Development\Sample
* The sample programs are zip format file. Please copy it to writable folder on PC then extracts it.

The folder for manual/help file:
C:\Program Files\OMRON_SENTECH\SentechSDK\v(version)\Development\Doc

When selecting “Off” at “Exposure Mode” under “Acquisition Control” under “Remote Device”, expousre time that is keep maximum frame rate, set automatically.
The frame rate becomes high (fast) when reducing image resolution, and one frame period of time becomes shorten.
Then shorten exposure time makes dark image.

To fixed exposure time, selects “Timed” at “Exposure Mode” under “Acquisition Control” under “Remote Device” after fixed exposure time with this method, brightness of image is consistent and control by “Exposure Time” while reducing image resolution.

The drawing function can be use with v1.1.1 or later version of StViewer.
*v1.0.8 or older version of StViewer does not support drawing function.

The drawing menu is display when selecting “Drawing” under “Tools and Docking Windows” under “View” on menu of StViewer.

Sets “True” at “Enable Drawing On Saving Image” under “Drawing Tool” under “ImageDisplayWnd”.

The image with drawing data can be save when image saving by selecting “PreviewImage” after right click on preview image.
The image with drawing data cannot be save when image saving by using file menu or save botton on tool bar on StViewer, and movie file.

The validated development environment is IDLE including Python.

Please follow below steps:
1. Selects “Start Recording” under “File” on menu.
2. Please specifies below settings, sets file name after select “Add” then select “OK”.
3. Please check movie file is making after acquire image.

 
Please refers settings for time unit.
Example: 5 minutes movie with 30 fps image

Time of movie calculates by “Maximum Frame Count Per File / Frame Rate”.

Please follow below step:
Camera name:
Checks “DeviceDisplayName” under “DeviceInforamtion” under “LocalDevice”.

Device version (firmware version):
Checks “DeviceVersion” under “DeviceInformation” under “LocalDevice”.
* GigE Vision camera includes FPGA verison.

The camera has two exposure modes
OFF: Exposure time is “1 / frame rate setting (second)”, which is longest exposure time to maintain set frame rate.
The exposure time is changed based on frame rate.
Timed: Exposure time specifies by exposure time setting.
Please uses “Timed” exposure mode to specify exposure time manually.

The exposure time can be set by below step.
Exposure time sets manually:
1. Selects “Timed” at “ExposureMode” under “AcquisitionControl” under “RemoteDevice”.
2. Sets exposure time at “ExposureTime” under AcquisitionControl” under “RemoteDevice”.

Exposure time specifies by frame rate (exposure time is “1 / frame rate (second)”):
1. Selects “OFF” at “ExposureMode” under “AcquisitionControl” under “RemoteDevice”.

It is possible to not increase frame rate depending on frame rate setting or exposure time setting.
The exposure time setting has to be set less than “1 / frame rate setting” (second).

Please check below settings to increase frame rata.
1. It is necessary to do NOT acquire image.
2. Sets target frame rate at “AcquisitionFrameRate” under “AcquisitionControl” under “RemoteDevice”
3. Selects “OFF” at “ExposureAuto” under “AcquisitionControl” under “RemoteDevice” to disabled auto exposure function.
    Selects “OFF” or “Timed” at “ExposureMode” under “AcquisitionControl” under “RemoteDevice”
    Sets exposure time that is less than “1 / framer rate setting” at “ExposureTime” under “AcquisitionControl” under “RemoteDevice” when selecting “Timed”.
4. Please check frame rate after acquiring image.

The frame rate and image transferring speed are displaying at lower right of StViewer.
Frame rate: XXX[fps]
Image transferring speed: XXX[Mbps]

Please enabled “Status bar” display by below steps when frame rate and image transferring speed do not display at lower right of StViewer.
1. Selects “View” at upper left of StViewer.
2. Selects “Status Bar”.
