CounterAndTimerControl Function
The counter function counts up change points in the camera’s internal signals using the
camera’s internal counter, and reads that information from the host side. This function is
useful for verifying error conditions via the count value using internal camera
operations.Counting is performed at frame trigger, frame start, exposure start, and exposure
transfer end, and by comparing these values, you can determine the internal camera state at
which missed triggers will occur.
