Camera Example File Content Example

The camera parameters can be overridden by setting the appropriate parameters in the path …/input/ in the ctrlX Data Layer.

The settings for a specific camera are located in the <extra file name>.json, here as an example named: camera_example.json.
An example of such settings is shown below.

{
    "meta": {
        "inputFileType": "camera-configuration",
        "inputFileVersion": "0.0.1",
        "targetMachine": "CtrlX7",
        "programName": "lumiscan-cam-driver",
        "programVersion": "1.0.0"
    },
    "id": "camera1",
    "serial": "LX123456",
    "exposureTimeUS": 4321,
    "pixelFormat": "RGB8"
}

The description of all the parameters mentioned above can be found in the t Table 7: Camera Example JSON Settings Description.
