Frame generation
All internal, external or software triggers can generate one or multiple frames. This may be
configured by setting
Acquisition control
– Mode
.
In
Continuous
mode the camera will send a continuous stream of frames until acquisition is
stopped manually.
Each trigger will generate a specific number of frames defined by
Acquisition control
–
Burst frame count
.
In
Multi frame
mode acquisition is stopped automatically once a specified number of frames
has been acquired. This number is defined by
Acquisition control
– Frame count.
Note that
frames may be lost in the transport layer, so the number of frames acquired may be
smaller.
Each trigger will generate a specific number of frames defined by
Acquisition control
–
Burst frame count
.
This mode is only meaningful when external edge triggering is configured (see Chapter
6.2).
In
Single frame
mode acquisition is automatically stopped once a single frame has been
sent, regardless of other settings.
Single frame
acquisition is equal to
Multi frame
acquisition with a
Frame count
of 1.
Note that these settings are only accessible when image acquisition is stopped.
The corresponding camera registers may be found in Chapter 9.1.1.
