AcquisitionFrameRateLimit [Float] R
The maximum frame rate possible for the current exposure duration and image
format.
AcquisitionMode [Enum] R/W
Determines the behavior of the camera when acquisition start is triggered.
AcquisitionStart [Command]
Software command to start camera receiving frame triggers. Valid when Trig-
gerMode = Off. See TriggerSelector = FrameStart trigger.
AcquisitionStop [Command]
Software command to stop camera from receiving frame triggers. Valid when
TriggerMode = Off. See TriggerSelector = FrameStart trigger.
Range: [Camera dependent] Unit: Frames per second
Continuous [Default] After an acquisition start event, the camera will
continuously receive frame trigger events.
See TriggerSelector and TriggerSource for
more information.
SingleFrame The camera will only deliver a single frame trigger event.
Further trigger events will be ignored until acquisition is
stopped and restarted
MultiFrame The camera will acquire the number of images specified by
AcquisitionFrameCount. Further trigger events
will be ignored until acquisition is stopped and restarted
Recorder The camera will continuously record images into the cam-
era on-board memory, but will not send them to the host
until an AcquisitionRecord trigger signal is
received. Further AcquisitionRecord trigger events
will be ignored until acquisition is stopped and restarted.
Combined with the RecorderPreEventCount con-
trol, this feature is useful for returning any number of
frames before a trigger event.
When AcquisitionRecord trigger is received, the
currently imaging/acquiring image will complete as nor-
mal, and then at least one more image will be taken. The
memory is a circular buffer, that starts rewriting images
once it is full. Its size is determined by Acquisition-
FrameCount
