7.13 Start-Stop-Behaviour
7.13.1 Start / Stop / Abort Acquisition (Camera)
Once the image acquisition is started, three steps are processed within the camera:
▪ Determination of the current set of image parameters
▪ Exposure of the sensor
▪ Readout of the sensor.
Afterwards a repetition of this process takes place until the camera is stopped.
Stopping the acquisition means that the process mentioned above is aborted. If the stop
signal occurs within a readout, the current readout will be nished before stopping the
camera. If the stop signal arrives within an exposure, this will be aborted.
Abort Acquisition
The acquisition abort represents a special case of stopping the current acquisition.
When an exposure is running, the exposure is aborted immediately and the image is not
read out.
7.13.2 Start / Stop Interface
Without starting the interface, transmission of image data from the camera to the PC will
not proceed. If the image acquisition is started before the interface is activated, the re-
corded images are lost.
If the interface is stopped during a transmission, this is aborted immediately.
