AcquisitionControl
The Acquisition Control section describes all
features related to image acquisition, including
the trigger and exposure control. It describes
the basic model for acquisition and the typical
behavior of the device.
An
Acquisition
is defined as the capture of a
sequence of one or many
Frame
(s)
A
Frame
is defined as the capture of
Width
pixels x
Height
lines.
A
Line
starts with an optional
Exposure
period
and ends with the completion of the sensor read
out..
The
AcquisitionMode
controls the mode of
acquisition for the device. This mainly affects
the number of frames captured in the
Acquisition (
SingleFrame, MultiFrame,
Continuous
).
The
AcquisitionStart
command is used to start
the Acquisition.
The
AcquisitionStop
command will stop the
Acquisition at the end of the current Frame
.
It
can be used in any acquisition mode and if the
camera is waiting for a trigger, the pending
Frame will be cancelled.
The
AcquisitionAbort
command can be used to abort an Acquisition at any time. This will end the
capture immediately without completing the current Frame.
AcquisitionFrameCount
controls the number of frames that will be captured when
AcquisitionMode
is
MultiFrame
.
AcquisitionLinePeriod
controls the period of each Line. The
AcquisitionLineRate
is calculated from
this value.
AcquisitionStatusSelector
and
AcquisitionStatus
can be used to read the status of the internal
acquisition signals. The standard acquisition signals Status are:
AcquisitionTriggerWait,
AcquisitionActive, FrameTriggerWait, FrameActive,
