Test Patterns#
Test patterns can be used for maintenance purposes and failure diagnostics. They are generated by the camera itself, i.e., the optics and the imaging sensor of the camera are not involved in their creation.
Using the Feature#
Displaying Test Patterns#
To display a test pattern:
- Select a test pattern by setting the
TestPattern
parameter to one of the following values (if available): - Acquire at least one image to display the selected test pattern. If you want to display the test pattern in the pylon Viewer, click the single or continuous shot button in the toolbar.
Available Test Patterns#
Depending on your camera model, the following test images are available:
Black#
Completely black test pattern.
White#
Completely white test pattern.
Test Image 1#
- Consists of fixed diagonal gray gradients ranging from 0 to 255.
- Is best suited for when the camera is configured for monochrome 8-bit output.
Test Image 2#
- Consists of moving diagonal gray gradients ranging from 0 to 255. When a new image acquisition is triggered, the image moves left one pixel.
- Is best suited for when the camera is configured for monochrome 8-bit output.
Test Image 3#
- Consists of moving diagonal gray gradients ranging from 0 to 4095. When a new image acquisition is triggered, the image moves left one pixel.
- Is best suited for when the camera is configured for monochrome 12-bit output.
Test Image 6#
- Available on color cameras only.
- Consists of moving diagonal color gradients.
Gray Diagonal Sawtooth#
- Consists of fixed diagonal gray gradients ranging from 0 to 255.
- Is best suited for when the camera is configured for monochrome 8-bit output.
Color Diagonal Sawtooth#
- Available on color cameras only.
- Consists of fixed diagonal color gradients.
Color Bar#
- Available on color cameras only.
- Consists of fixed vertical color bars.
Color Bar 2#
- Available on color cameras only.
- Consists of fixed vertical color gradients.
