HWBinning for Moravian C1X61000

[s2a]

Hi Robin,

Do you know this, is there a way to activate the hardware binnig for Moravian C1x camera from within SharpCap?

The description of the camera says: "Hardware binning can be turned on and off using the parameter HWBinning in the 'cXusb.ini' configuration file, located in the same directory like the 'cXusb.dll' driver DLL file itself."
But I think SharpCap uses neither the one nor the other file, right?

Hi,

SharpCap uses CxUSB.dll (you'll find it in the install folder, as well as gxusb.dll for the gx style cameras). We don't install a cxusb.ini file, but I guess you could create one and copy it to the SharpCap install folder and see if it works. You could use a tool like SysInternals ProcMon to monitor whether SharpCap actually accesses CxUSB.ini from the SharpCap install folder at any point (and if it tries a different folder then you could put your ini file there).

cheers,

Robin

Hi Robin,

Thank you for your fast answer. I placed the CxUSB.ini file in the folder and installed SysInternals ProcMon. I'm not familiar with the software, but I would assume that SharpCap is accessing it. Do you agree with this?



Unfortunately, I can't see any change in the frame rate. It is the same as with 1x1 binning.

Hi,

yes, it certainly looks as though the file is being read, so that's good. It must be code in the CxUSB.dll reading the file, since I don't have any code to do that in SharpCap. I guess you would have to check with Moravian themselves to see if there is any way to get confirmation that the setting is being read/understood/used - QHY also have an ini file and there is an option for debug logging in it, maybe Moravian have something similar?

cheers,

Robin

Hi Robin,
Thanks a lot. I'll check this with Moravian.
Best regards,
