Examples using Timestamp Modulo Event for Acquisitions
The Timestamp Modulo event is used to synchronize multiple camera acquisitions and automate
repetitive acquisition
s based on either the camera’s internal Timestamp counter or a system wide
PTP counter. The Linea Lite internal Timestamp clock has a 1 μs tic, while the PTP clock has 8
nanosecond tics (PTP: IEEE1588 – Precise Time Protocol).
Both Timestamp counters increment continuously but can be reset to zero with
‘timestampControlReset’ if ‘ptpMode = Off’, else only the internal camera Timestamp counter
resets.
Case Examples Overview
The following case examples use a simplified Timestamp timeline, which for clarity is shown with
time tics from 00 to 60 without units. A timeline scale based on real time is not required to
describe the usage concepts. These examples also apply equally to using an internal Timestamp
clock or a system PTP clock.
Case 1: Simple Repeating Acquisitions as Upcoming Events
Conditions:
• initial timestampControlReset resets Timestamp counter
• timestampModuloStartTime at 20
• timestampModulo = 10
• timestampModuloActualStartTime = First Event generated (F1)
After the Timestamp Reset, the first acquisition is made when the Modulo reaches the +10 tick
Timestamp count, following the programmed start time. Acquisitions repeat at every +10
Timestamp tick until stopped.
