5.2 Trigger and Strobe
5.2.3 Acquisition Mode
The available acquisition modes are shown in Table 5.4.
The ContinuousRecording and ContinousReadout modes can be used if more than
one camera is connected to the same network and need to shoot images si-
multaneously. If all cameras are set to Continuous mode, then all will send the
packets at same time resulting in network congestion. A better way would be to
set the cameras in
ContinuousRecording mode and save the images in the memory
of the IPEngine. The images can then be claimed with ContinousReadout from one
camera at a time avoid network collisions and congestion.
AcquisitionMode After the command AcquisitionStart is executed:
Continuous Camera aquires image frames continuously. Acquisition can be
stopped by executing
AcquisitionStop command.
SingleFrame Camera acquires one frame and acquisition stops.
MultiFrame Camera acquires n= AcquisitionFrameCount frames and acquisition
stops.
SingleFrameRecording Camera saves one image on the on-board memory of the IP engine.
SingleFrameReadout One image is acquired from the IP engine’s on-board memory. The
image must have been saved in the
SingleFrameRecording
mode.
ContinuousRecording Camera continuosly saves images on the on-board memory of the
IP engine until the memory is full. The size of available on-board
memory is 24 MB.
ContinousReadout All Images that have been previously saved by the
ContinuousRecording mode are acquired from the IP engine’s
on-board memory.
