Exposure mode 

 

To set the exposure method 

 
The flow of these commands is shown below. 
The following drawings are based on the conditions that the Acquisition mode is Single 
and the Trigger selector is Frame Start. 
 
If the acquisition start is set at ON (The acquisition is controlled externally) 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
If the acquisition start is set at OFF (The acquisition is controlled internally) 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The following sections provide the details for each command set. 

9.1.2   Acquisition mode 

The AM-800GE and AB-800GE has three settings for capturing images. 
 

 

 Single frame 

      AcquisitionStart command outputs one frame. Then the acquisition is stopped. 

 MultiFrame 

      AcquisitionStart command outputs frames which are set by AcquisitionFrameCount. 
      After the set frames are output, the acquisition is stopped. 

 Continuous 

    AcquisitionStart command outputs frames until AcquisitionEnd is initiated. 

9.1.2.1   Single Frame 

In single frame mode, executing the AcquisitionStart command causes one frame to  
be captured. After one frame is captured, this operation is automatically stopped.  
In order to restart the capture, it is necessary to input the AcquisitionStart  
command again. BlockID is not reset until AcquisitionEnd is input and is incremented  
when the AcquisitionStart command is called. 
In case of PIV operation, this is not working.
