•
Assuming camera runs in
continuous mode
, the check of monotonically
changing bus cycle time is a simple test that no image was skipped or
lost in the camera or subsequently in the image processing chain.
•
In (synchronized)
multi-camera applications
, SIS can be used to iden-
tify those images, shot at the same moment in time.
•
The cross-check of the frame counter of the camera against the frame
counter of the host system also identifies any
skipped or lost images
during transmission.
•
The cross-check of the trigger counter against the frame counter in the
camera can identify a
trigger overrun
in the camera.
•
AOI can be inserted in the image if it was set as a variable e.g. in a
sequence.
•
Exposure/gain scenario parameters can be inserted in the image if set
as a variable in e.g. sequence mode to identify the imaging conditions.
•
Inserting input and output state on exposure start can be helpful when
working with input and output signals.
•
Index of sequence mode is inserted automatically if SIS is used together
with sequence mode.
•
Serial number inserted in the image helps to document/identify the
camera in e.g. multi-camera applications.
Note
•
FirePackage
offers additional and independent checks
to be performed for the purpose of image integrity.
Details can be found in the respective documentation.
