The Sequencer and the Active Configuration Set
During operation, the camera is controlled by a set of configuration parameters that reside in the
camera’s volatile memory. This set of parameters is known as the active configuration set or "active
set" for short. When you use the pylon API or the pylon Viewer to make a change to a camera
parameter such as the Gain, you are making a change to the active set. And since the active set
controls camera operation, you will see a change in camera operation when you change a
parameter in the active set. For more information about the active set, see the "Configuration Sets"
section.
The parameters in the active set can be divided into two types (as shown in Figure 44):
"non-sequence" parameters
The values of the non-sequence parameters cannot be changed using the sequencer feature.
"sequence" parameters
The values of the sequence parameters can be set very quickly by using sequence sets:
Because the sequence sets reside in the camera, you can replace the values in the active set
with values from one of the sequence sets almost instantaneously as images are acquired.
Using the sequencer feature has no effect on the camera’s frame rate.
The sequence set currently defining the parameter values of the active set is also called the "current
set".
