set

Configure or display image acquisition object properties

Syntax

set(obj)
prop_struct = set(obj)
set(obj,PropertyName)
prop_cell = set(obj,PropertyName)
set(obj,PropertyName,PropertyValue,...)
set(obj,S)
set(obj,PN,PV)


Description

set(obj) displays property names and any enumerated values for all configurable properties of image acquisition object obj. obj must be a single image acquisition object.

prop_struct = set(obj) returns the property names and any enumerated values for all configurable properties of image acquisition object obj. obj must be a single image acquisition object. The return value prop_struct is a structure whose field names are the property names of obj, and whose values are cell arrays of possible property values or empty cell arrays if the property does not have a finite set of possible character vector values.

set(obj,PropertyName) displays the possible values for the specified property, PropertyName, of image acquisition object obj. obj must be a single image acquisition object. Use the set(obj) syntax to get a list of all the properties for a particular image acquisition object that can be set.

prop_cell = set(obj,PropertyName) returns the possible values for the specified property, PropertyName, of image acquisition object obj. obj must be a single image acquisition object. The returned array prop_cell is a cell array of possible values or an empty cell array if the property does not have a finite set of possible character vector values.

set(obj,PropertyName,PropertyValue,...) configures the property specified by the character vector PropertyName to the value specified by PropertyValue for image acquisition object obj. You can specify multiple property name/property value pairs in a single statement. obj can be a single image acquisition object or a vector of image acquisition objects, in which case set configures the property values for all the image acquisition objects specified.

set(obj,S) configures the properties of obj with the values specified in S, where S is a structure whose field names are object property names.

set(obj,PN,PV) configures the properties specified in the cell array of character vectors, PN, to the corresponding values in the cell array PV, for the image acquisition object obj. PN must be a vector. If obj is an array of image acquisition objects, PV can be an M-by-N cell array, where M is equal to the length of the image acquisition object array and N is equal to the length of PN. In this case, each image acquisition object is updated with a different set of values for the list of property names contained in PN.

Note

Parameter/value character vector pairs, structures, and parameter/value cell array pairs can be used in the same call to set.

Examples

These examples illustrate the various ways to use the set function to set the values of image acquisition object properties.

set(obj, 'FramesPerTrigger', 15, 'LoggingMode', 'disk');
set(obj, {'TimerFcn', 'TimerPeriod'}, {@imaqcallback, 25});
set(obj, 'Name', 'MyObject');
set(obj, 'SelectedSourceName')

Instead of using set to set individual property values, you should use dot notation. So for example, instead of this:

set(vid, 'FramesPerTrigger', 100);

You should use this syntax:

vid.FramesPerTrigger = 100;
