HoldImg mode

By setting the

HoldImg

flag, transport of the image over the 1394 bus is

stopped completely. All captured images are stored in the internal

ImageFiFo

. The camera reports the maximum possible number of images in

the

FiFoSize

variable.

Note

Configuration

To configure this feature in an advanced register: See

Table

127: Advanced register: Deferred image transport

on page

270.

Note

•

Pay attention to the maximum number of images that
can be stored in

FIFO

. If you capture more images than

the number in

FIFOSize

, the oldest images are over-

written.

•

The extra

SendImage

flag is set to

true

to import the

images from the camera. The camera sends the number
of images set in the

NumOfImages

parameter.

•

NumOfImages

all images stored in FIFO will be

sent.

•

NumOfImages

is not

, the corresponding number of

images will be sent.

•

If the

HoldImg

field is set to

false

, all images in

ImageFIFO

will be deleted. No images will be sent.

•

The last image in the FIFO will be corrupted, when
simultaneously used as input buffer while being read
out. In this case read out one image less than max.
buffer size.

•

NumOfImages

is incremented after an image was read

out of the sensor and therefore stored into the onboard
image FIFO.

•

NumOfImages

is decremented after the last isochro-

nous packet of an image was handed over to the
IEEE1394 chipset of the camera.
