If sequence mode is quitted, the camera can use the FIFO for other tasks. For this
reason, a sequence must be loaded back into the camera after sequence mode has
been quit.

Reading in the sequence
Reading in sequence parameters for the image takes place in parallel to the process of
generating and transporting the image.

What to pay attention to when working with a sequence:
L
If more images are recorded than defined in
SeqLength
the settings for the last
image remain in effect.
L
To repeat the sequence, stop the camera and send the “MultiShot” or “IsoEnable”
command again. Each of these two commands resets the sequence.
L
Using
SingleShot
mode in combination with a sequence does not make sense,
because
SingleShot
mode restarts the sequence every time.
L
The sequence may not be active when setting the
AutoRewind
flag. For this reason it
is important to set the flag before the “MultiShot” or “ISO_Enable” commands.
L
If the sequence is used with the
deferred transport
feature the number of images
entered in
Seq_Length
may not be exceeded. (see
Deferred image transport
)
7.9.3
Changing the parameters within a sequence
It is not necessary to make settings for the entire sequence to change the parameters
within a sequence . The image can simply be selected via the
ImageNo
field and then to
change the corresponding IIDC v. 1.3 register.
What to pay attention to when changing the parameters:
L
If the
ApplyParameters
flag is used when setting the parameters all not-configured
values are set to default values. Because changing a sequence normally affects only
the value of a specific register and all other registers should not be changed, the
ApplyParameters
flag may not be used here.
L
The values stored for individual images can no longer be read.
L
If the camera is switched into
sequence mode
, the changes to the IIDC v. 1.3
register for the image specified in
ImageNo
take effect immediately.
