AVT GigE Camera and Drivers Features V2.0.0

This document is a master document for all AVT GigE camera models and is NOT camera specific

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.

RecorderPreEventCount [Integer] R/W

Valid when AcquisitionMode = Recorder. The number of frames

returned before the AcquisitionRecord trigger event, with Aquisi-

tionFrameCount minus RecorderPreEventCount frames being

returned after the AcquisitionRecord trigger event.

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

Range:[0–65535] Default: 0 Units: Frames

Note



At least one image must be captured after the

AcquisitionRecord trigger event, i.e., you

cannot set RecorderPreEventCount = 1,

and AcquisitionFrameCount = 1.
