Use Cases
This chapter shows some typical configurations of the camera. It gives some tips, how to
acquire images, how to use the general purpose counters and timers and how to configure the
look up table.
C.1
Acquisition
This section shows some configuration procedures of frequently used acquisition situations.
C.1.1
Camera runs in "free-running" mode
The camera needs to start acquiring images as fast as possible as soon as the command
AcquisitionStart()
has been performed. The following configuration procedure must be
applied:
1.
The
TriggerMode
of the
AcquisitionStart
-,
FrameStart
-,
FrameBurstStart
- and
ExposureStart
-trigger must be set to
Off
.
2.
Parameter
EnAcquisitionFrameRate
must be set to
False
.
3.
The required image
Width
and
Height
must be set.
4.
The required
PixelFormat
must be set.
5.
AcquisitionMode
must be set to
Continuous
.
6.
The software command
AcquisitionStart()
must be applied.
C.1.2
Camera runs in "constant frame rate" mode
In some application it is necessary, that the camera acquires image at a certain frame rate. This
mode is similar to the "free-running" mode, however a required frame rate can be configured
additionally. The following configuration procedure shows how to set the camera in the
constant frame rate mode:
1.
The
TriggerMode
of the
AcquisitionStart
,
FrameStart
,
FrameBurstStart
- and
ExposureStart
trigger must be set to
Off
.
2.
Parameter
EnAcquisitionFrameRate
must be set to
True
.
3.
Either the
AcquisitionFrameTime
or
AcquisitionFrameRate
must be set accordingly.
4.
The required image
Width
and
Height
must be set.
5.
The required
PixelFormat
must be set.
6.
AcquisitionMode
must be set to
Continuous
7.
The software command
AcquisitionStart()
must be applied.
The "constant frame rate" mode provides two different acquistion frame rate settings:
ExposureControlled and FrameRateControlled:
•
In ExposureControlled acquisition mode the maximal configurable frame rate at a given
ROI settings is limited by the exposure time. When the user increases the exposure time,
the camera decreases the frame rate automatically if necessary.
