Cameras.FLIRPySpin.Chameleon3Class

class Cameras.FLIRPySpin.Chameleon3Class(cameraNumber, triggerMode=0, exposurems=1, gaindB=1, camROI=None, loadDefault=False)[source]

Bases: FLIRPySpinClass

Model-specific class for Chameleon3 FLIR cameras using PySpin python driver.

Child Class of FLIRPySpinClass. Use to implement specific initialization for this camera model

__init__(cameraNumber, triggerMode=0, exposurems=1, gaindB=1, camROI=None, loadDefault=False)[source]

Initialize the Camera object

Parameters:

cameraNumber (int) – index of camera in camerasConfigs list

Keyword Arguments:

  • triggerMode=0 (int) – 0 for hardware/external, 1 for software/internal

  • exposurems=1. (float) – Exposition duration (exposure) in ms.

  • gaindB=0. (float) – hardware gain of the camera in dB.

  • camROI=None (None or [int]*4) – Camera region of interest to read from sensor [x offset , y offset , x size , y size ] (binning is not implemented)

  • True (loadDefault =) – Decide if default values from cameraConfigs should be set at creation

Returns:

Chameleon3Class camera object
