FrameRate – Float32 – R/W
When FrameStartTriggerMode is set to FixedRate, this control specifies the
frame rate. Depending on the exposure duration, the camera may not achieve
the frame rate set here.
FrameStart
FrameStart controls relate to triggering individual frames within an acquisition
stream. See AcqStart for triggering an acquisition stream.
FrameStartTriggerDelay – Uint32 – R/W
Start of frame is delayed FrameStartTriggerDelay μs after receiving an external
trigger event. This feature is only valid when FrameStartTriggerMode is set to
external trigger (i.e. SyncIn1, SyncIn2). Useful when using a common trigger to
sync with a strobe lighting source, which will have some fixed setup time.
FrameStartTriggerEvent – Enum – R/W
If FrameStartTriggerMode = SyncIn1/2, determines which SyncIn electrical sig-
nal initiates trigger.
Range: [Camera dependent] Units: Hz
Note

•If ExposureMode = Manual:
Ensure [1/ExposureValue*] > FrameRate to achieve tar-
get frame rate.
•If ExposureMode = External:
Ensure [1/(external trigger pulse width)] > FrameRate
to achieve target frame rate.
•If ExposureMode = PieceWiseLinearHDR:
Ensure the [1/ExposureValue*] > FrameRate to achieve
target frame rate.
