AcquisitionControl
A category for the acquisition and
trigger control features.
AcquisitionMode - - -
Continuous,
MultiFrame,
SingleFrame
Sets the acquisition mode of the
device. It defines mainly the number
of frames to capture during an
acquisition and the way the
acquisition stops.
Continuous: Frames are captured
continuously until stopped with the
AcquisitionStop command.
MultiFrame: The number of frames
specified by AcquisitionFrameCount
is captured.
SingleFrame: One frame is captured.
ExposureMode - - - Timed
Sets the operation mode of the
Exposure.
Timed: Timed exposure. The
exposure duration time is set using
the ExposureTime or ExposureAuto
features and the exposure starts with
the FrameStart or LineStart.
mvShutterMode - - -
mvRollingShutter,
mvGlobalShutter,
mvGlobalShutterWithoutReset
Selects the shutter mode of the
sensor.
mvRollingShutter: Selects the shutter
mode of the sensor.
mvGlobalShutter: Selects the shutter
mode of the sensor.
mvGlobalShutterWithoutReset:
Selects the shutter mode of the
sensor.
mvCompressionKneepoint 0 255 1 -
Knee point of 10 to 8 bit
compression.
ExposureTime 10.000 1000000.000 - -
Sets the Exposure time when
ExposureMode is Timed and
ExposureAuto is Off. This controls
the duration where the
photosensitive cells are exposed to
light. (us)
ExposureAuto - - -
Off,
Continuous
Sets the automatic exposure mode
when ExposureMode is Timed. The
exact algorithm used to implement
this control is device-specific.
Off: Exposure duration is user
controlled using ExposureTime.
Continuous: Exposure duration is
constantly adapted by the device to
maximize the dynamic range.
