E.1
IMAGE_RETRANSMIT: 634h
This register provides an interface to the camera’s frame buffer functionality.
Transmitting buffered data is available when continuous shot is disabled. Either One shot or Multi shot can be used to
transmit buffered data when
Transfer_Data_Select
= 1. Multi shot is used for transmitting one or more (as specified by
Count_Number
) buffered images. One shot is used for retransmission of the last image from the retransmit buffer.
For GenICam features, One shot is the same as Single Frame and Multi shot is the
same as Multi Frame.
Image data is stored in a circular image buffer when
Image_Buffer_ Ctrl
= 1. If the circular buffer overflows, the oldest
image in the buffer is overwritten.
Transmitted data is always stored in the retransmit buffer. If a last or previous image does not exist, (for example, an
image has not been acquired since a video format or mode change), the camera still transmits an image from the
retransmit buffer, but its contents are undefined.
The image buffer is initialized when
Image_Buffer_Ctr
is written to ‘1’. Changing the video format, video mode, image_
size, or color_coding causes the image buffer to be initialized and
Max_Num_Images
to be updated.
