Controlling image capture
Setup mode (new for 3.x)
The
SetupMode
flag allows you to set up a sequence while capturing images.
Using this flag you get a visual feedback of the settings.
Set
SetupMode
flag when setting up the sequence and reset the flag before
using the sequence.
Sequence step mode (new for 3.x)
The SeqMode field selects the signal source for stepping the sequence one
parameter set further.
SeqMode description
Sequence repeat counter (new for 3.x)
For each parameter set one can define an image repeat counter. Using the image
repeat counter means that a parameter set can be used for n consecutive images
before the next parameter set is applied.
Setting the
ImageRepeat
field to 0 has the same effect like setting this field to
1.
Sequence mode
Description
0x80
This mode is the
default sequence mode
and stepping the
sequence is compatible to e.g. the Marlin series. With
each image integration start the sequence is stepped one
item further and the new parameter set becomes active for
the next image.
0x82
Stepping of the sequence is controlled by a
rising edge
of
an
external signal
. The new parameter set becomes active
with the next integration start. When using this mode
select the suitable input mode of the input lines.
0x84
Stepping of the sequence is controlled by a
high level
of
an
external signal
. The new parameter set becomes active
with the next integration start. When using this mode
select the suitable input mode of the input lines.
Other mode
Choosing any other mode value, automatically defaults to
mode 0x80.
Table 81: Sequence mode description
Note
It is also possible, that a sequence consists of parameter sets
with different sequence modes. This can be achieved by using
the SeqMode and the ImageNo fields within the
Sequence_Param register.
