Image Acquisition

Introduction

The image acquisition chapter shows you the methods and processes behind an image acquisition as well as the two possibilities to acquire images:

1. single snap acquisition,
   which means that the camera acquires a single image (see: Getting A Single Image).
2. triggered acquisition,
   which means that an external event initiates the image acquisition (see: Getting A Triggered Image)

With this newly acquired knowledge (the theory) you can see, by means of some examples, how the image acquisition works in practice.
