IBoolean: True or False select parameter
IInteger: Integer value save parameter
IFloat: Float value save parameter
IEnumeration: Selection select parameter
IString: Character save parameter
ICommand: Command for camera execute parameter
The parameter control method is different based on type of camera parameter.
Please refers “AutoFunction” or “FeatureList” sample programs for parameter control method.
Please refers sample code that displaying at bottom part of “NodeMap” when selecting function on StViewer for camera parameters.

The unit for shutter speed (exposure time) is us (microsecond).
USB/GigE Vision cameras use Bayer CMOS image sensor.
The greenish image is acquired when selecting “OFF” at white balance or white balance settings are not appropriate.
Please adjusts white balance by following procedure:
The following is white balance adjustment procedure with StViewer (for USB3 Vision and GigE Vision)
1. Selects “Once” or “Continuous” at “Balance White Auto” under “AnalogControl” under “RemoteDevice” after stop image acquisition.
“Once”: White balance adjust automatically once
“Continuous”: White balance adjust continuously
The following is white balance adjustment procedure with StCamSWare (for USB3.0 and USB2.0)
1. Selects “Setting” under “Option” in menu of StCamSWare, then selects “Advanced” button on setting window.
2. Selects “WhiteBalance” Tab then selects one of “Manual”, “FullAuto” and “OneShot”.
“Manual”: White balance adjust manually
“FullAuto”: Whita balance adjust continuously
“OneShot”: White balance adjust automatically once
The camera settings on “Romote Device” are UserSet save settings.
The camera settings on other than “Remote Device” do not save to UserSet.
The camera settings on other than “Remote Device” need to set/select when it is necessary, or
it is necessary to make software with Sentech SDK, to save settings.
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.

2. Please specifies below settings, sets file name after select “Add” then select “OK”.
3. Please check movie file is making after acquire image.
File Format | AVI1 → Maximum file size: 2GB AVI2 → Maximum file size: 1TB |
Compression | Motion JPEG Uncompressed |
Quality Value | Quality setting for Motion JPEG (100 is best quality) |
Reserve Y | Vertical flip image |
Frame Rate | Frame rate setting for play movie |
Maximum Frame Count Per File | Maximum Frame Count Per File |
Please refers settings for time unit.
Example: 5 minutes movie with 30 fps image
File Format | AVI1 |
Compression | MPEG |
Quality Value | 50 |
Reserve Y | False |
Frame Rate | 30 |
Maximum Frame Count Per File | 9,000 |
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.
