Basler pioneer 189
The availability of binning differs between the camera models:
You can combine vertical and horizontal binning. This, however, may cause objects to appear dis-
torted in the image. For more information on possible image distortion due to combined vertical and
horizontal binning, see the following section.
Setting Binning
You can enable vertical binning by setting the Binning Vertical parameter. Setting the parameter’s
value to 2, 3, or 4 enables vertical binning by 2, vertical binning by 3, or vertical binning by 4 respec-
tively. Setting the parameter’s value to 1 disables vertical binning.
You can enable horizontal binning by setting the Binning Horizontal parameter. Setting the param-
eter’s value to 2, 3, or 4 enables horizontal binning by 2, horizontal binning by 3, or horizontal bin-
ning by 4 respectively. Setting the parameter’s value to 1 disables horizontal binning.
You can set the Binning Vertical or the Binning Horizontal parameter value from within your
application software by using the pylon API. The following code snippet illustrates using the API to
set the parameter values:
// Enable vertical binning by 2
Camera.BinningVertical.SetValue( 2 );
// Enable horizontal binning by 4
Camera.BinningHorizontal.SetValue( 4 );
// Disable vertical and horizontal binning
Camera.BinningVertical.SetValue( 1 );
Camera.BinningHorizontal.SetValue( 1 );
For detailed information about using the pylon API, refer to the Basler pylon Programmer’s Guide
and API Reference.
You can also use the Basler pylon Viewer application to easily set the parameters.
