Single image acquisition
The settings for image acquisition and triggering are interlocked by default. The following explanatory section assumes that the AcquisitionMode is set to SingleFrame.
The other cases are described under:
 | Checking the features of the camera Please refer to the manual for the camera to see whether the camera supports corresponding features. The same applies to the feature names that are actually used. The procedure using the feature names according to the GenICam Standard Features Naming Convention (Version 2.4) is described below. |
Single image acquisition
If just one image is to be recorded after each AcquisitionStart command, the following configuration is required:
AcquisitionMode = SingleFrameTriggerSelector = AcquisitionStartTriggerMode = Off
After the AcquisitionStart command, just one image is captured. Between two AcquisitionStart commands an AcquisitionStop command can be issued, and the lock can be canceled. Unlocking facilitates changing camera features between AcquisitionStart commands. No image is captured if an AcquisitionStop command is issued too soon after the AcquisitionStart command, when image acquisition has not yet started.
Single image acquisition with image acquisition trigger
or single image acquisition with single image trigger
The following configurations can be used if just one image is to be recorded after each AcquisitionStart command in situations where a trigger signal is required:
Configuration – single image acquisition with image acquisition trigger
AcquisitionMode = SingleFrameTriggerSelector = AcquisitionStartTriggerMode = OnTriggerSource = Line1 (example)
Configuration – single image acquisition with single image trigger
AcquisitionMode = SingleFrameTriggerSelector = FrameStartTriggerMode = OnTriggerSource = Line1 (example)
