GigE MotionBLITZ EoSens mini1 - 3.8 Recording

3.8 Recording
3.8.1 Overview
The cameras are equipped with an internal buffer of 2 to 4 GB that can be
divided in 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16 sub buffers. The buffer is reserved to store sequences
of images in the camera for later use. Recording to the camera internal
memory can be done at full camera speed, which means 625 MB/s.
The camera can be run in live mode to get live images for visualization while
recording gets started / is running.
Recording can be stopped by the command RecordStop or an external or
internal trigger signal. The line for an external trigger signal must be connected
to the trigger in pin of the camera. An internal trigger signal can be generated
by the ImageBLITZ feature of the camera (see sections ExtTrigger and
ImageBLITZ). Recording to the camera memory can be done in single or con-
tinuous mode:
n Single: In single mode, the camera buffer is filled with images. When the
end of the buffer is reached, the camera stops recording. Single buffer
mode just works with one buffer.
n Continuous: In continuous mode, the camera buffer gets filled in a circular
way. When the end of the buffer is reached, recording continues at the
start of the buffer, overriding previously grabbed images. If an internal or
an external trigger signal is detected, the camera stops recording to the
buffer.
Multi-sequence
If more than one buffer is defined the camera switches to the next buffer and
continues recording as described above. If there is no next buffer when a trig-
ger impulse arises recording stops finally.
