    The C5 Sensor Algorithms The C5 series can be operated both in a variety of 3D profile modes and in image mode. The current operation mode can be chosen by setting the following parameter: Camera Controls→ ModeAndAlgorithmControls→CameraMode. The frame rate can be increased in all camera modes by reducing the AOI size. In the image mode the frame rate is limited by the output rate of the camera interface (GigE).
