Requests for improvement
Dear maintainers,
Here are some requests for improvements for the BPM web:
- Have the name of the BPM in the
<title>
tag of the client webpage.- Rationale: we need to have multiple BPMs opened simultaneously and it would make switching from one to another much more straightforward. As of now we have multiple tabs titled "BPM Monitor".
- Decouple "Exposure Time" and "Sampling rate"
- One is not necessarily the inverse of the other. E.g. one might want to integrate only 50μs every 10s. (and the standard Basler are 30 fps max).
- Would this also open the possibility to hard trigger the acquisition (instead of the present soft trigger)? Personally very interested for our laser applications on ID24.
- Have a way to adjust gain, lock it
- Have a way for the application to save all the settings and reload them when restarted (this occurs a lot!
😞 )- At each restart, we have to re-set the "Exposure time" (or "Sampling rate") and any image transformations previously configured (rotate or flip).
- Have a color image when the camera is a color one.
- We have a microscope with a large-sensor color camera.
- Have the possibility to have a larger displayed image
- For instance, as of now, we have a canvas element of 730×544 px², where the standard Basler camera for beamviewers have a sensor of 1296×966 px² which would largely fit on any modern monitor without scaling.
- We also have other Basler cameras with larger sensors on the beamlines.
- Have the possibility to define the pixel size as a float, now only accepts integer.
- Useful for microscopy applications.
- Have a way to record one full-frame image (only the last image? i.e. when the acquisition has been stopped? with transformations applied)
- Ideally also have access to the full bitdepth of the sensor (they are capable of 12bit).
- Have the possibility to have a histogram displayed
- useful to tune the exposure time/gain, in order to optimize the dynamic range of the image and avoid saturation.
Does any of these have been suggested by others? Is there a roadmap of planned development(s)?
I am available to help test. Cheers
