AcquisitionMode acquisitionMode Sets the acquisition mode of the device. There are
different modes available with GenICam and
provides the opportunity that the camera sends
- exactly one image (SingleFrame),
- exactly the set number of frames (MultiFrame)
or
- it acquire live images (Continuous).
and can be used for asynchronously grabbing and
sending image(s). It works with internal and
external hardware trigger where the edge is
selectable. The external trigger uses
ImageRequestTimeout (ms) to time out.
AcquisitionStart acquisitionStart Starts the Acquisition of the device.
AcquisitionStop acquisitionStop Stops the Acquisition of the device at the end of
the current Frame.
AcquisitionAbort acquisitionAbort Aborts the Acquisition immediately.
AcquisitionFrameRate acquisitionFrameRate Controls the acquisition rate (in Hertz) at which
the frames are captured.
TriggerSelector triggerSelector Selects the type of trigger to configure.
A possible option is mvTimestampReset. The use
case about mvTimestampReset is available.
TriggerOverlap[TriggerSelector] triggerOverlap Specifies the type trigger overlap permitted with
the previous frame. TriggerOverlap is only
intented for external trigger (which is usually
non-overlapped: i.e. exposure and readout are
sequentially). This leads to minimal latency / jitter
between trigger and exposure.
However, the camera accepts a new trigger (the
exposure time earlier) before the end of the
transmission of the current image.
Max. frame rate in triggered mode
= frame rate of continuous mode
This, however, leads to higher latency / jitter
between trigger and exposure.
A trigger will be not latched if it occurs before this
moment (trigger is accurate in time).

trigger
ExposureMode exposureMode Sets the operation mode of the Exposure (or
shutter).
ExposureTime exposureTime Sets the Exposure time (in microseconds) when
ExposureMode is Timed and ExposureAuto is Off.
ExposureAuto exposureAuto Sets the automatic exposure mode when
ExposureMode is Timed.
