12.4.4.   Acquisition of the image 

The settings related to image acquisition are configured in the Acquisition Control. 
The following shows the Acquisition Control screen (Guru layer) 
 

 

 

After setting the acquisition, click Start Acquisition button.   

 

 

 

12.4.4.1   Basic settings 

The basic setting items are Acquisition Mode, Trigger Selector, Exposure Mode. 

 

Acquisition Mode 

 

 

Acquisition Mode can be selected from Continuous, Single Frame and Multi Frame. 
 
Continuous: 

If the trigger is input, the image is continuously captured. 

In order to stop the acquisition, Acquisition End command must be 
executed.
