Filter
Corresponds to Filter selection on the Data Interpretation page.

Note that the value(s) presented on the Data Interpretation page change depending on the output format in use. For example, Bayer as compared to YCBCR as compared to SuperCell - all will have a different list of possible Filter choices.
This in turn changes the corresponding value for the "Filter" state.

The method of determining the state value is to use DevWare to set the output format that you're using, and then go to the "Data Interpretation" dialog in the "Control" dialog.
Starting at 0, count down until you find the filter that you want to apply.

For example, if your output format is Bayer, selecting a Filter state of "Bayer Grayscale" would be 3.

Note; the set of Filters can be set via the "CFA Pattern" STATE command, listed below.

0 or 1

RX Type
Calls the midlib function setMode() MI_RX_TYPE. Sets the data connection between the sensor and the main board. Values 0 through 4 are Disabled, Parallel, CCP, MIPI, and HiSPI respectively.

Calls the midlib function setMode() MI_RX_LANES. Sets the number of data lanes between the sensor and the main board.

Calls the midlib function setMode() MI_RX_BIT_DEPTH. Sets the serial bit depth between the sensor and the main board.

Calls the midlib function setMode() MI_RX_MODE. Sets the HiSPI mode.

Calls the midlib function setMode() MI_RX_CLASS. Sets the CCP class.

Calls the midlib function setMode() MI_RX_SYNC_CODE. Sets the HiSPI sync codes.

Calls the midlib function setMode() MI_RX_EMBEDDED_DATA. Sets whether embedded data will be sent over the serial link.

Calls the midlib function setMode() MI_RX_VIRTUAL_CHANNEL. Sets the MIPI virtual channel.

Calls the midlib function setMode() MI_RX_MSB_FIRST. Sets the bit order for HiSPI transmission.

Calls the midlib function setMode() MI_RX_CCIR656. Sets whether the main board should interpret CCIR656 sync codes.

HW Red Gain
Not really a software variable, this sets the gain register on the sensor given a floating point gain value.

Floating-point value

HW Green1 Gain
Not really a software variable, this sets the gain register on the sensor given a floating point gain value.

Floating-point value

HW Green2 Gain
Not really a software variable, this sets the gain register on the sensor given a floating point gain value.

Floating-point value

HW Blue Gain
Not really a software variable, this sets the gain register on the sensor given a floating point gain value.

Floating-point value

HW Gain
Not really a software variable, this sets the gain register on the sensor given a floating point gain value.

Floating-point value

HW Exposure Time
Not really a software variable, this sets the integration time register on the sensor given a floating point time value, in seconds.

Floating-point value

Exposure Table
Creates a custom exposure table.  This structure is used for the user-defined gain table (mapping from gain value to register value).  Maximum of 8 tables, each with maximum 64 register/data pairs.

STATE= Exposure Table, index; reg0 data0; reg1 data1; ....

Calculate Focus
Disable/Enable the generation of the "Focus Assist" Focus Metric.

0 or 1

Calculate Focus Overlay
Disable/Enable the display overlay of the Focus Metric value and the portions of the display being used to generate it.

0 or 1

Focus
When Calculate Focus is enabled, the value of the Focus Metric.

Integer

Noise Results JSON
After the noise measurement is completed, this is the results in JSON format.

d = ap_GetStateStr(apbasedev, b'Noise Results JSON') 
d = json.loads(d)

Send to Viewer
When set, the next frame will be sent to Aptina Viewer. Automatically returns to 0.

Product Variant
Set the Product Variant string, which shows on the Info dialog. This can be any string value.

Also, if the string matches a known "CFA Pattern", that Color Filter Array will be enabled.
The "CFA Pattern" value is used with the following strings;
"MONO" = 0
"BAYER" = 1
"RGBC" = 3
"RCCB", "ClarityPlus" or "Clarity+" = 4
"RCCC" = 6
"RGBI" = 7  (RGB-IR 2x2)
"RGBI4" = 8  (RGB-IR 4x4)
"SuperCell" = 9
"RCCG" = 10
"SuperCell2" = 11
"RYYCy" = 12
"RADAR" = 13
"LIDAR" = 14

Note: only use the string value in quotes - the numbers listed after the string are supplied as a cross-reference to their associated "CFA Pattern" STATE command values.

"invoke" = invoke pipeline

"live" = show live images

"rgb" = show processed RGB images

"nir" = shows processed NIR images

RGBIR CCN
RGB-IR plugin use. IR Separation Matrix. 

Can be generated by SensorTune with the "IR Separation Matrix Calculation" option, and via the RGB-IR plug-in GUI.

RGBIR Denoise
RGB-IR plugin use. When 1, perform the Denoise function. When 0, do not. Default 0.

Note; this is compute intensive.

RGBIR Sat Pixel Threshold
RGB-IR plugin use. Pixel saturation % threshold. Default 85.

The plug-in skips the CCN processing where pixels are close to saturation.

You can avoid it by setting the saturated pixel threshold to

100 so all pixels are included in CCN processing.

A value of 101 is needed if you want to treat all pixels as non-"saturated". 100 still treats fully saturated pixels as "saturated". ("Saturated" pixels don't get the CCN matrix step.)
