Image Acquisition Control
Basler ace GigE 79
The following code snippet illustrates using the API to set the Acquisition Mode to continuous, the
Trigger Mode to off, and the Acquisition Frame Rate to 60:
// Set the acquisition mode to continuous frame
Camera.AcquisitionMode.SetValue( AcquisitionMode_Continuous );
// Select the frame start trigger
Camera.TriggerSelector.SetValue( TriggerSelector_FrameStart );
// Set the mode for the selected trigger
Camera.TriggerMode.SetValue( TriggerMode_Off );
// Set the exposure time
Camera.ExposureTimeAbs.SetValue( 3000 );
// Enable the acquisition frame rate parameter and set the frame rate. (Enabling
// the acquisition frame rate parameter allows the camera to control the frame
// rate internally.)
Camera.AcquisitionFrameRateEnable.SetValue( true );
Camera.AcquisitionFrameRateAbs.SetValue( 60.0 );
// Start frame capture
Camera.AcquisitionStart.Execute( );
You can also use the Basler pylon Viewer application to easily set the parameters.
