ContinuousReadout Mode
With this mode, images are continuously read (and removed) from the CL-GigE’s onboard memory. The
readout begins at the first image in memory. To see the number of images stored in onboard memory, see
AcquisitionControl > BlockBufferCount in the Device Control dialog box ( Expert or Guru visibility
level is required).
Readout continues until the Stop button is pressed ( AcquisitionStop command is executed) or until the
last image has been sent by the device ( BlockBufferCount will be 0 ).
MultiFrameRecording Mode
With this mode, a fixed number of images are stored in the CL-GigE’s onboard memory. To configure
the number of images, set the
AcquisitionControl > AcquisitionFrameCount feature in the Device
Control dialog box. Images can be read out from memory using ContinuousReadout mode.
If AcquisitionControl > AcquisitionFrameCount is set to a value that exceeds the amount of available
memory, the CL-GigE stops acquiring new images when the onboard memory is full (or 512 images are
stored in onboard memory).
BlockBufferCount shows the number of images currently in memory. In MultiFrameRecording mode,
this number is cumulative: If the memory is empty and you acquire an image, BlockBufferCount will
match the AcquisitionFrameCount . If you stop and restart recording, BlockBufferCount will increment
(to a maximum of 512 images, depending on the image size) and will no longer match the
AcquisitionFrameCount .
For information about the actions that clear the images from onboard memory, see “ContinuousReadout
Mode” on page 65.
SingleFrameRecording Mode
With this mode, a single image is saved in the CL-GigE’s onboard memory after each AcquisitionStart
command.
For information about the actions that clear the images from onboard memory, see “Understanding
When Images are Removed from the Onboard Memory” on page 66.
SingleFrameReadout Mode
With this mode, a single image is acquired from the CL-GigE’s onboard memory.
A maximum of 512 images can be acquired at one time in MultiFrameRecording mode.
To determine how many images can be stored in memory, see “Calculating How Many Images Can be
Stored in Onboard Memory” on page 66.
