AW00011916000 Image Acquisition Control
Basler scout GigE 103
9 Image Acquisition Control
This section provides detailed information about controlling image acquisition. You will find details
about choosing between image acquisition control modes, triggering image acquisition, setting the
exposure time for each acquired image and about how the camera’s maximum allowed acquisition
frame rate can vary depending on the current camera settings.
9.1 Image Acquisition Control Modes:
Legacy and Standard
Two different image acquisition control modes are available: the legacy mode and the standard
mode. Previous Basler scout cameras with firmware version 3.2 and below only operate according
to the legacy mode.
The legacy mode differs from the standard mode in only two respects:
the acquisition start trigger of the standard mode is not available in the legacy mode.
the frame start trigger of the standard mode is called "acquisition start trigger" in the legacy
mode.
Recommendations for choosing the image acquisition control mode:
If you want to operate the camera together with previous cameras we recommend choosing
the legacy mode. In this mode, triggering the camera will be exactly as for previous cameras.
Note also that you will not have to modify any code of your application.
If you do not want to operate the camera together with previous cameras we most strongly
recommend choosing the standard mode.
For more information about acquisition start trigger in the legacy mode, see Section 9.6 on
page 129.
For more information about acquisition start trigger and frame start trigger in the standard mode,
see Section 9.4 on page 111 and Section 9.5 on page 118, respectively.
For more information about determining the camera’s firmware version, see Section 12.17 on
page 317.
