10.8.1.2 Configuration
Configuring Sequence Sets and Advance Control
1. Make sure that the sequencer feature is disabled.
2. Set the Sequence Advance Mode parameter to Auto.
3. Set the Sequence Set Total Number parameter. The maximum number is 64.
4. Select a sequence set index number by setting the Sequence Set Index parameter. The
available numbers range from 0 to 63.
When configuring sequence sets make sure to always use a continuous series of index
numbers starting with index number 0 and ending with the Sequence Set Total Number
parameter value minus one. For example, specifying a series of sequence sets only with index
numbers 5, 6, and 8 is not allowed. If you did nonetheless, the not explicitly configured
sequence sets would, within the scope of the sequence set total number, be populated by
default parameter values.
5. Set up your first acquisition scenario (i.e., lighting, object positioning, etc.)
6. Adjust the camera parameters to get the best image quality with this scenario (you are
adjusting all parameters in the active set).
7. Set the Sequence Set Executions parameter. The available numbers range from 1 to 256.
8. Execute the Sequence Set Store command to copy the sequence parameter values currently
in the active set into the selected sequence set. Any already existing parameter values in the
sequence set will be overwritten.
9. Repeat the above steps starting from step 4 for the other sequence sets.
Configuring Sequence Sets and Advance Control Using Basler pylon
You can use the pylon API to set the parameters for configuring sequence sets from within your
application software.
The following code snippet gives example settings. It illustrates using the API to set the auto
sequence advance mode, set the total number of sequence sets to 2, set the numbers of
consecutive sequence set executions and populate sequence sets 0 and 1 by storing the sequence
parameter values from the active set in the sequence sets:
// Disable the sequencer feature
Camera.SequenceEnable.SetValue( false );
// Set the Auto sequence advance mode
Camera.SequenceAdvanceMode.SetValue( SequenceAdvanceMode_Auto );
// Set the total number of sequence sets
Camera.SequenceSetTotalNumber.SetValue( 2 );
