2.7 ACQUISITION MODES
The following acquisition modes can be supported:
• Single Scan
• Kinetic Series
• Accumulate
• Run Till Abort
NOTES:
1. The term ‘User Frame’, in this section refers to a single frame in Rolling Shutter mode and a reference/
image frame pair in Global Shutter mode.
2. The term ‘valid trigger’ refers to a trigger that is applied when the camera is ready to accept it.
2.7.1 Single Scan
Single Scan refers to an acquisition in which only one user frame is transmitted from the camera.
A user frame is output from the sensor on receipt of a valid trigger of the selected type and then transmitted
from the camera. Note that any subsequent triggers within the same acquisition are ignored.

depending upon the connectivity i.e. 3-tap or 10-tap Camera Link. Note that after the required number of valid
triggers has been received, any subsequent triggers within the same acquisition are ignored.
2.7.3 Accumulate
Accumulate refers to an acquisition in which a number of frames in a series are accumulated together into a
singleimage.Thisaccumulationofuserframesisperformedo-camera.Eitheralltheuserframesinaseries
are accumulated to give a single accumulated image or a smaller number of user frames in the series are
accumulated to give a series of accumulated images.
2.7.4 Run Till Abort Acquisition
Run Till Abortreferstoanacquisitioninwhichaninnitenumberofuserframescanbetransmittedfromthe
camera and the acquisition will continue to run until it is aborted.
One user frame will be output from the sensor on receipt of each valid trigger of the selected type. All valid
triggers will output another user frame from the sensor. Frames are transmitted from the camera in as quick
succession as possible.
