Pixel Data FormatsBasler pioneer 14311.2 Pixel Data Formats for Mono Cameras11.2.1 Mono 8 Format (Equivalent to DCAM Mono 8)When a monochrome camera is set for the Mono 8 pixel data format, it outputs 8 bits of brightnessdata per pixel.The table below describes how the pixel data for a received frame will be ordered in the image bufferin your PC when the camera is set for Mono8 output.The following standards are used in the table:P 0 = the first pixel transmitted by the cameraP n = the last pixel transmitted by the cameraB 0 = the first byte in the bufferB m = the last byte in the bufferWith the camera set for Mono8, the pixel data output is 8 bit data of the “unsigned char” type. Theavailable range of data values and the corresponding indicated signal levels are as shown in thetable below.Byte Data Byte DataB0 Brightness value for P 0 • •B 1 Brightness value for P 1 • •B 2 Brightness value for P 2 Bm-4 Brightness value for P n-4B3 Brightness value for P 3 Bm-3 Brightness value for P n-3B4 Brightness value for P 4 Bm-2 Brightness value for P n-2• • B m-1 Brightness value for P n-1• • B m Brightness value for P nThis Data Value(Hexadecimal)Indicates This Signal Level(Decimal)0xFF 2550xFE 254• •• •• •0x01 10x00 0
