AcquisitionStart
This feature starts the Acquisition of the device. Sending this command pre-
pares the camera for image transmission to the host. The source of the
images depends on the setting of the feature AcquisitionSource.
If AcquisitionSource is set to Live streaming goes directly from the camera
head to the hosts. The transmission of the frames starts immediately after the
command is given. It is possible to do live streaming to the host and recording
to the internal buffer at the same time. If live streaming and recording runs in
parallel, the frames will be stored in the camera buffer at the full frame rate
while the number of frames send to the host gets adapted to the ability of the
Gigabit Ethernet interface as described by the feature Acquis-
itionFrameRateRaw.
If AcquisitionSource is set to Memory the requested frames come from the
camera’s internal buffer. The start command just prepares the camera for
streaming but streaming itself is not started by the command. First set the
start and end frame you want to read from the buffer and perform the com-
mand StreamSequenceStart. This finally will start the transmission of the
requested frames from the camera to the host.

Precondition CameraState = Idle, AcquisitionSource
Note If AcquisitionSource is Live, then streaming comes
after AcquisitionStart directly from the camera. The

If AcquisitionSource is Memory, then streaming
comes after AcquisitionStart from the camera internal
buffers. The CameraState changes to ‘Streaming’.
