How is sequence mode implemented?

There is a FIFO (first in first out) memory for each of the IIDC v. 1.3 registers 
listed above. The depth of each FIFO is fixed to 32(dez) complete sets. Func-
tionality is controlled by the following advanced registers.

Mode

this registers can be modified...

All modes

Cur_V_Mode, Cur_V_Format, ISO_Channel, ISO_Speed, Brightness, 
White_Balance (color cameras only), Shutter, Gain, look-up table, 
TestImage

Fixed modes only

Cur_V_Frm_Rate

Format_7 only

Image_Position, Image_Size, Color_Coding_ID, Byte_Per_Packet

 Table 50: Registers to be modified within a sequence

Note

L

Sequence mode requires not only 

FW 3.03

 but also special 

care if changing image size, Color_Coding_ID and frame rate 
related parameters. This is because these changes not only 
affect settings in the camera but also require corresponding 
settings in the receiving software in the PC.

Caution

a

Incorrect handling may lead to 

image corruption

 or 

loss of 

subsequent images

.

Please ask for detailed support if you want to use this 
feature.
