Note:
This camera supports the Counter function only.
The counter function counts up change points in the camera’s internal signals using the camera’s
internal counter, and reads that information from the host side. This function is useful for verifying error
conditions via the count value using internal camera operations.
Three counters are available on the camera; Counter0, Counter1 and Counter2. The functions that
can be counted are fixed for each counter.
l
Counter0: Counts the number of FrameStartTrigger instances.
l
Counter1: Counts the number of ExposureStart instances.
l
Counter2: Counts the number of SensorReadOut instances.
When a problem occurs in a system that includes this camera, comparing the values from multiple
counters allows you to verify the extent of normal operability and can be useful when investigating the
cause of the problem.
