Controlling image capture
I/O controlled sequence pointer reset
I/O controlled sequence pointer reset is always edge controlled. A rising edge on
the input pin resets the pointer to the first entry.
I/O controlled sequence pointer reset can be combined with Quick Format
Change Modes . See Chapter Standard Parameter Update Timing on page 180 and
Chapter New: Quick Format Change Mode (QFCM) on page 180.
I/O controlled sequence stepping mode and I/O controlled
sequence pointer reset via software command
Both sequence modes can be controlled via software command.
Points to pay attention to when working with a
sequence
The following screenshot shows an example of a sequence for eight different
image settings. It uses the
Firetool program as graphical representation. Please
note the changes in the shutter time; that creates descending image brightness,
and the change in the image position; which creates a panning effect.
Note

• If more images are recorded than defined in SeqLength ,
the settings for the last image remain in effect.
• If sequence mode is cancelled, 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 cancelled.
• To repeat the sequence, stop the camera and send the
multi-shot or IsoEnable command again. Each of these
two commands resets the sequence.
• Using SingleShot mode in combination with a sequence
does not make sense, because SingleShot mode restarts
the sequence every time.
• The sequence may not be active when setting the AutoRe-
wind flag. For this reason it is important to set the flag
before the
multi-shot or IsoEnable commands.
• If the sequence is used with the deferred transport fea-
ture, the number of images entered in Seq_Length may
not be exceeded.
