7.7 Sequencer(≥Rel.2only)
The Sequencer enables the possibility of image series recording including automated
re-parameterization of the camera based on different events and signals. Therefore the
desired camera settings for each step are stored in so called sequencer sets.
Stringing together a number of these sequencer sets results in a sequence. The connec-
tion of sequences is done by using different paths. Alongside the camera features the
path related features are also part of a sequencer set.
7.7.1 Sequencer sets
Sequencer sets combine camera features – comparable with a user set – and sequencer
(set and path) related parameters.
Settings for several camera features such as:
▪ exposure time
▪ gain
▪ partial scan
▪ user output
▪ counter
can be controlled by the sequencer and thus stored to a sequencer set as well as informa-
tion for the set switch-over via four different paths.

Sequencer controllable camera features
Each path involves:
▪ the destination for the set switch-over that is mapped by the SequencerSetNext
feature
▪ the signal, whose change of state is used for triggering the set switch-over and that is
mapped as SequencerTriggerSource
▪ the change of state triggering the set switch-over and that is mapped as ‘Sequencer-
TriggerActivation’
As with user sets the camera’s current settings are overwritten once a sequencer set is
loaded and the sequencer is activated.
