Other image controls
Trigger-induced distortion control (TIDC)
The trigger-induced distortion originates from an influence of the external trigger.
It appears only if the camera runs in IWR mode. The magnitude of the TID depends
on the camera model and the selected gain level. The TID can cause a vertical line
glitch and horizontal step in brightness.
The TIDC allows to almost eliminate both patterns concurrently or each of them
individually.
Frame memory
Usually, each image is captured and transmitted in consecutive steps. The image is
taken, read out from the sensor, digitized, and transmitted to the PC over the
connection used, either Camera Link or Gigabit Ethernet.
Goldeye cameras are equipped with 256 MB of RAM for buffering the frames
before transmission. Table 120 shows the number of frames that can be stored by
each model.
Number of frames in the frame memory
The number of frames (StreamHoldCapacity) depends on the resolution and pixel
format. The listed number of frames is valid for full resolution and Mono14.
