LSS Overview
Terminology
Recipe Settings
Fixed settings for each recipe that do not vary across the frames or sequences (to be defined later). These are
considered global parameters that are set once in the recipe. Trigger Type, trigger event, trigger level, trigger
delay, output trigger delay, ground trigger, camera trigger voltage, and camera trigger width make up recipe
settings.
Active Settings
Settings the LSS are currently running which are loaded into RAM. Active settings reside in volatile memory and
will not be saved when power is lost unless stored to flash memory.
Saved Settings
Settings in persistent storage, either onboard flash memory or PC files. Active settings can become Saved
settings when using the Save to Controller or Save to File commands.
Sequence Settings
Settings that are defined within each sequence thus can vary between different sequences. Executions, number
of frames, and channel mapping are considered Sequence settings
Frame Settings
In most cases, these settings apply across all frames in a sequence. However, an Advanced Mode allows you to
set different strobe widths from frame to frame within a sequence. Frame time, strobe width, frame rate,
independent strobe widths, and independent widths make up the Frame Settings.
Frames
Every frame is an image the camera captures with the programmed lighting channels. Multiple frames are
combined to create sequences and multiple sequences can be linked to create a recipe. There is a maximum of
12 frames per sequence.
Channels
Channels refer to output channels for attached lighting. Lights attached to the LSS may either be segmented
lights or independent lights. Dedicated computational imaging lights, such as the HPR2-150SW2-DV04, have pre-
wired segments connected to each channel. When using a breakout cable connected to any individual CCS lights,
the user will connect each light to a channel. Checking the corresponding Channel box within a Frame turns that
segment or connected light on for the set exposure time for that Frame.
Sequences
The number of frames and their settings make up one sequence. When a sequence is completed the camera
software is able to complete one output image. There can be 10 different programmed sequences on the LSS
controller, but each sequence can be programmed to execute multiple times.
