Frame flashing is a sign that the exposure and frame rate are incompatible. Typically you
should set this to 160 and do not change.
Saving and Restoring Camera Settings
The internal flash memory of the FastCamera allows you to define the eight sets of the
camera parameters that can be saved and restored as needed. This is a great time saver if
you need to capture video with the same setup. Just click on the Save/Restore button and
you will see the dialog box as in the
Figure 11
below. Select the desired parameter set
and click on the function button:
Save
or
Restore
. The
first location
has a special
meaning – the camera automatically loads the set 1 at the power boot-up. It is convenient
to keep your most often used settings stored in the first storage location. That will make
your settings immediately available on the power-up.

Triggered Mode to Complete Capture of a Video Sequence
The
'Trigger'
button sends the manual software trigger input to the camera. When the
camera is triggered by the internal or external event, it switches from the continuous video
capture mode to the video capture completion mode and begins recording
post trigger
frames. When all the post trigger frames have been collected the camera stops and
continuously displays in the video preview window the last frame collected.
The
Trigger-
Check box at the top on the Main screen is marked when the trigger has been
detected by the camera. It is cleared when the camera memory is erased. The trigger can
come from either the software trigger button or an external hardware input signal (CC1 or
P2TTL).
Once this mode is triggered it will go to completion. The operator can’t interrupt it short of
calling the Windows Task manager and stopping the application.
