The following named properties can be dynamically accessed with the SetImageProp and GetImageProp commands:

• ClampLevel (0..255, default 0)

• CameraGain (0..18, default 0)
• ShutterMode

• 0: monitoring mode (continuous capture)
• 1: trigger mode (default)

• ShutterPolarity

• 0: positive polarity (default)
• 1: negative polarity (software trigger is disabled)

• ShutterSpeed

• 0: 1/15 second
• 1: 2 seconds
• 2: 1 seconds
• 3: 1/30 second
• 4: 1/60 second
• 5: 1/100 second
• 6: 1/120 second

• Gamma

• 0: Off (default)
• 1: 0.45
• 2: 2.2
• 3: Inverse
• 4: Binarization with threshold settings (0..1023)

• BinarizationThreshold (0..1023, default 0)
• StatusLEDState (0..1, default 0)

The Set / GetImageProp commands are easily accessible from Python scripts using the camera module.

Example 1: GetCamera Object for Sony SmartCamera

  self.camera = GetCamera('0')  # Camera is always 0
  if self.camera <> None:
    print 'Camera Name:',self.camera.name
    print 'Camera Driver:',self.camera.driver
  else:
    print 'No Camera'

Example 2: GetPropertyRange - CameraGain

  cameraGainMinMax = self.camera.getPropertyRange('CameraGain')
  minCameraGain = cameraGainMinMax[0]
  maxCameraGain = cameraGainMinMax[1]

Example 3:  GetProperty - CameraGain

  try:
    cameraGain = self.camera.getProperty('CameraGain')
    print 'CameraGain:',cameraGain
  except:
    print 'GetProperty CameraGain Failed'

Example 4:  SetProperty - CameraGain

  try:
    self.camera.setProperty('CameraGain',cameraGain)
  except:
    print 'SetProperty CameraGain Failed'

Example 5:  Set ShutterSpeed to 1/2000 seconds

  try:
    self.camera.setProperty('ShutterSpeed',10)  # 1/2000 s
  except:
    print 'SetProperty ShutterSpeed Failed'

Example 6:  Set StatusLEDState  ON

  try:
    self.camera.setProperty('StatusLEDState ',1) 
  except:
    print 'SetProperty StatusLEDState Failed'
