SingleFrame - After an acquisition start event, the camera will only receive a single frame trigger event.
Further trigger events will be ignored until acquisition is stopped and restarted.
MultiFrame - After an acquisition start event, the camera will receive AcquisitionFrameCount number of
triggers. Further trigger events will be ignored until acquisition is stopped and restarted.
Recorder – After an acquisition start event, the camera will continuously capture images into the camera
on-board memory, but will not send them to the host until an AcqRec trigger signal is received. Further
AcqRec trigger events will be ignored until acquisition is stopped and restarted.
Combined with the RecorderPreEventCount control, this feature is useful for returning any number of
frames before a trigger event.
When AcqRec trigger is received, the currently imaging/aquiring image will complete as normal, and then
at least one more image will be taken. See RecorderPreEventCount.
The memory is a circular buffer, that is, once it is full starts rewriting images. Its size is determined by
AcquisitionFrameCount.
AcquisitionStart – A command. In SampleViewer, when selected a dialog box appears at the bottom of the
controls screen showing an AcquisitionStart button which will start the camera imaging when pressed.
AcquisitionStop - A command. In SampleViewer, when selected a dialog box appears at the bottom of the
controls screen showing an AcquisitionStop button which will stop the image stream when pressed.
RecorderPreEventCount – The number of images returned before the AcqRec trigger event, with
AquisitionFrameCount minus RecorderPreEventCount images being returned after the trigger event. Valid only
when AcquisitionMode equals Recorder.
NOTE: at least one image must be captured after the AcqRec trigger event. That is, you cannot set
RecorderPreEventCount = 1, AcquisitionFrameCount = 1.
ConfigFile
Prosilica's GigE cameras are capable of storing a number of user-specified configurations within the camera's
non-volatile memory. These saved configurations can be used to define the power-up settings of the camera
or to quickly switch between a number of predefined settings.
ConfigFileIndex - The index number corresponding to the configuration set that you are currently working
with. Possible settings: Factory, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
ConfigFileLoad – A command. In SampleViewer, selecting this control will reveal a button at the bottom of
the controls list that, when pressed, will load the configuration corresponding to ConfigFileIndex.
ConfigFilePowerUp - The saved configuration that will load when the camera powers up. Possible settings:
Factory, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
ConfigFileSave - A command. In SampleViewer, selecting this control will reveal a button at the bottom of
the controls list that, when pressed, will save the current camera settings into the non-volatile memory
location currently indicated by ConfigFileIndex. The Factory setting cannot be overwritten.
Controls
DSP
The automatic exposure, gain, and whitebalance features can be configured to respond only to a subregion
within the image scene. This feature can be used to choose a subregion that will 'meter' the rest of the image.
This feature works like the region metering on a photographic camera.
DSPSubregionBottom - defines the bottom of the region in pixels. Defaults to a huge number much larger
than the maximum number of sensor rows.
