Parameter Values

WEB

MC_AcquisitionMode_WEB

Description

This mode is intended for image acquisition of a continuous object, like a web, from a line-scan camera.

A single sequence acquiring SeqLength_Ln contiguous lines is available within the channel activity period. The sequence is divided in contiguous phases, each phase acquiring PageLength_Ln lines.

In the case SeqLength_Ln is not a multiple of PageLength_Ln , the surface is partially filled during the last phase.

The sequence and the first acquisition phase are initiated according to TrigMode . Subsequent acquisition phases are automatically initiated without any line loss.

BreakEffect specifies the behavior in case of a user break.

Default value.

PAGE

MC_AcquisitionMode_PAGE

Description

This mode is intended for image acquisition of discrete objects from a line-scan camera.

Each page is constituted of contiguous lines; the page length, expressed in lines, is specified by PageLength_Ln .

A single sequence is capable to acquire SeqLength_Pg pages within the channel activity period.

LONGPAGE

MC_AcquisitionMode_LONGPAGE

Description

This mode is intended for image acquisition of long or variable size discrete objects from a line-scan camera.

The parameter ActivityLength specifies the number of sequences within the channel activity period. Each sequence is capable to acquire SeqLength_Lncontiguous lines.

A sequence is divided in phases, each phase acquiring PageLength_Ln lines.

HFR

MC_AcquisitionMode_HFR

Description

This mode is intended for acquisition of snapshot images from high frame rate area-scan cameras.

A single sequence is capable to acquire SeqLength_Fr frames within the channel activity period. The sequence is divided into phases, each phase acquiring PhaseLength_Fr frames into a single destination surface.

SNAPSHOT

MC_AcquisitionMode_SNAPSHOT

Description

This mode is intended for acquisition of snapshot images from area-scan cameras.

The unique sequence is capable to acquire SeqLength_Fr frames within the channel activity period.

VIDEO

MC_AcquisitionMode_VIDEO

Description

This mode is intended for recording multiple video sequences from standard area-scan cameras.

ActivityLength specifies the number of sequences within the channel activity period.
