Controlling image capture
Changing the parameters within a sequence
To change the parameter set for one image, it is not necessary to modify the
settings for the entire sequence. The image can simply be selected via the
ImageNo
field and it is then possible to change the corresponding IIDC V1.31
registers.
Points to pay attention to when changing the
parameters
Secure image signature (SIS): definition and
scenarios
Note
•
If the
ApplyParameters
flag is used when setting the
parameters, all not-configured values are set to default
values. As 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.
•
The values stored for individual images can no longer be
read.
•
If the camera is switched into
sequence mode
, the
changes to the IIDC V1.31 registers for the image speci-
fied in
ImageNo
take immediate effect.
•
Sequence mode requires firmware 3.x and special care if
changing image size and frame rate related parameters.
This is because these changes not only affect settings in
the camera but also require corresponding settings in the
receiving software in the PC (e.g. FirePackage).
Caution
Incorrect handling may lead to
image corruption
or
loss of
subsequent images
.
Please ask for detailed support when you want to use this
feature.
Note
For all customers who know SIS from Marlin cameras:
•
Pike cameras have
additional SIS features
: AOI,
exposure/gain, input/output state, index of sequence
mode and serial number.
•
In contrary to Marlin cameras, in the Pike SIS feature the
endianness cannot be changed
.
