An
Acquisition
is defined as the capture of a sequence of one or many
Frame
(s). This Acquisition mode and
its command is managed by the Frame Grabber.
A
Frame
is defined as the capture of
Width
pixels x
Height
lines.
As for the Acquisition Mode, the
Frame Management
(Start, stop …) is also manage by the Frame Grabber.
The CXP Camera is considered as a LineScan Camera (as in the CameraLink version) then only deals
with the Line/Exposure Triggers.
A
Line
starts with an optional
Exposure
period and ends with the completion of the sensor read out.
The Line/Exposure Triggers can be connected :
Either on the GPIO connector of the Camera (2x Lines Triggers : Line0/1 available if Forward/reverse
command is controlled by software)
Or by the CoaxPess Cable : Only one Trigger available (Line2).
