Acquisition Properties

Aperture setting for the camera. Specified as an f-number (the ratio of lens focal length to the effective aperture diameter). When capturing 2D HDR, all 2D acquisitions must have the same Aperture setting. Use Exposure Time or Gain to control the exposure instead.

Brightness controls the light output from the projector. Brightness above 1.0 may be needed when the distance between the camera and the scene is large, or in case of high levels of ambient lighting. When brightness is above 1.0 the duty cycle of the camera (the percentage of time the camera can capture) will be reduced. The duty cycle in boost mode is 50%. The duty cycle is calculated over a 10 second period. This limitation is enforced automatically by the camera. Calling capture when the duty cycle limit has been reached will cause the camera to first wait (sleep) for a duration of time to cool down, before capture will start.
