FocalSpec 3D Line Confocal Sensor

Note

It is required to install the FocalSpec Software Development Kit v2.5.1, and add the directory of the SDK library to the system environment variable Path (the default path is C:\Focalspec\FocalSpec Software Development Kit\API\x64)

Parameter	Type	Description	Dependency
Camera ID	Enumeration	Specify the ID of the camera
Recipe File	Path	Specify the camera configuration recipe file
Calibration. X-axis Calibration File	Path	Specify the X-axis calibration file of the camera; use the camera's internal calibration file if left blank
Calibration. Z-axis Calibration File	Path	Specify the Z-axis calibration file of the camera; use the camera's internal calibration file if left blank
Surface Selection. Sorting	Enumeration	Set the sorting method of surface layers: Brightest Top Layer, Top Layer, Bottom Layer
Surface Selection. Index	Integer	Set the index of the selected surface layer, range: 1-10
Frequency Limit. Restricted by Z-axis Range	Boolean (Switch)	Set whether to use the Z-axis Range to automatically adjust the frequency limit
Frequency Limit. Frequency	Set the frequency limit; triggering frequencies higher than this limit may result in trigger loss	Frequency Limit. Restricted by Z-axis Range = Off
Frequency Limit. Z-axis Range	Set the Z-axis imaging range; the smaller the range, the larger the frequency limit value. The maximum value is determined by the camera model; an excessively large value will cause an error	Frequency Limit. Restricted by Z-axis Range = On
Number of Rows	Integer	Set the number of rows for point cloud generation
Y-axis Point Spacing	Float	Specify the Y-axis point spacing
Remove Invalid Points	Boolean (Switch)	Set whether to enable the function of removing invalid points; an unordered point cloud will be output after removing invalid points

Camera Usage

Camera Preparation

1. Ensure the IP address of the camera controller and the network card are in the same subnet.
2. Verify that images can be captured using the official camera software and meet the desired results.
3. Save the camera configuration file When saving a recipe for the first time, you will be prompted to enter a recipe name. Recipes are saved in the C:\Focalspec\SDK Recipes directory by default, with the file type json. Only the parameters in the position shown in the figure above will be saved to the recipe. Click Apply after modification to make the configuration take effect and save it.
