◆ TAutoControlMode

enum TAutoControlMode : int

Defines valid auto control modes.

Enumerator
acmStandard 

The standard auto control mode.

acmDeviceSpecific 

A device specific auto control mode.

mvBlueFOX specific: For mvBlueFOX devices of type 202b and 202d the operation in device specific AEC/AGC mode is limited in (non continuous)triggered-modes. AEC/AGC only works while the trigger signal is active. As these sensor types only support the trigger modes mv.impact.acquire.TCameraTriggerMode.ctmOnHighLevel and mv.impact.acquire.TCameraTriggerMode.ctmOnLowLevel 'active' means that the required signal level for that mode(either high or low) is present.

When this signal level is no longer present AEC/AGC will stop working and gain and exposure will be set to a static value. This is due to a limitation of the sensor chip. Effectively this means that for single frame triggering requiring short active pulses AEC/AGC is not possible.

Overlapped mode, expose during image readout.

This only affects the behaviour of the acquisition in mv.impact.acquire.TCameraTriggerMode is set to mv.impact.acquire.TCameraTriggerMode.ctmContinuous.

This only affects the behaviour of the acquisition in mv.impact.acquire.TCameraTriggerMode is set to mv.impact.acquire.TCameraTriggerMode.ctmContinuous. In this case the shutter of the camera is never closed. Thus the exposure time in this mode is equal to the reciprocal value of the current frame rate.

◆ TCameraTapsYGeometry

Multi-tap cameras can transmit data in different ways. This enumeration can be used to define how the camera transmits the lines of pixels.

Enumerator
cltyg1Y 

Lines from top to bottom.

cltyg1Y2 

Two neighbouring lines are transmitted during one FVAL.

cltyg2YE 

One line from top and one line from bottom are transmitted during one FVAL.

◆ TCameraTestMode

enum TCameraTestMode : int

Defines valid transmission modes for the camera.

Enumerator
ctmOff 

The 'normal' camera image will be transmitted.

ctmGreyRamp 

A grey gradient will be transmitted by the camera.

ctmMovingColor 

A color test image with some moving components in it will be displayed.

ctmWBTest 

A raw white Bayer image will be transmitted.

◆ TCameraTriggerMode

enum TCameraTriggerMode : int

Defines valid camera sensor trigger modes.

Enumerator
ctmContinuous 

Don't wait for trigger. In this mode the camera continuously exposes images with the current settings.

However images are not transferred to the host system automatically in this mode, so NO CPU load or whatsoever is produced in this mode when the driver isn't asked for images by the user.

This mode is recommended for most applications and will be available for every image sensor.

When the user requests an image the image AFTER the next frame start will be returned. In applications that need fast but NOT continuous image transfer the mv.impact.acquire.TCameraTriggerMode.ctmOnDemand therefore might be more interesting.

ctmOnDemand 

Start frame expose when the software asks for an image.

Here without image requests by the user the image sensor will not expose images. An exposure and image transmission will start immediately after at least one images has been requested by the user.

When e.g. a camera in free running mode captures 30 images per sec. and the user needs an image every 40 ms (25 fps) this mode might be more suitable than mv.impact.acquire.TCameraTriggerMode.ctmContinuous as in the continuous mode when asking for an image every 40 ms the user might need to wait for the next frame start which at 30 Hz in the worst case would result in a capture time of (1/30Hz)*2 = 66.6 ms when an image start has just been missed. In mv.impact.acquire.TCameraTriggerMode.ctmOnDemand however the image exposure will be started immediately after the request reaches the camera thus no delay will be introduced.

Note
In applications where the capture time can be disregarded because either the transfer time is much higher or the capture frequency is very low the difference between the mv.impact.acquire.TCameraTriggerMode.ctmOnDemand and the mv.impact.acquire.TCameraTriggerMode.ctmContinuous can be disregarded as well. However in this case mv.impact.acquire.TCameraTriggerMode.ctmContinuous is recommended as this mode will be available for every sensor type and is more universal.
ctmOnLowLevel

Each time an image is requested and the trigger signal is below the trigger threshold a image will be captured.

ctmOnHighLevel 

Start the exposure of a frame when the trigger input is above the trigger threshold.

Each time an image is requested and the trigger signal is above the trigger threshold a image will be captured.

ctmOnFallingEdge 

Start the exposure of a frame when the trigger input level changes from high to low.

ctmOnRisingEdge 

Start the exposure of a frame when the trigger input level changes from low to high.

ctmOnHighExpose 

Start frame expose when the trigger input level rises above the trigger threshold and expose while the trigger input level remains above this threshold.

ctmOnLowExpose 

Start frame expose when the trigger input level falls below the trigger threshold and expose while the trigger input level remains below this threshold.

ctmOnAnyEdge 

Start the exposure of a frame when the trigger input level changes from high to low or from low to high.

ctmFramerateControlled

This mode is behaves like ctmContinuous but allows the FPS-Rate to be controlled directly.

The cameras clock signal is used.

Deprecated
Beginning with the release of 3.0.0 of Impact Acquire everything specifically related to frame grabber boards will be considered as deprecated and might be removed without further notice!

If the property pixelClockOutput in the camera description is either set to mv.impact.acquire.TCameraExternalSyncEdge.ceseFallingEdge or mv.impact.acquire.TCameraExternalSyncEdge.ceseRisingEdge. Otherwise mv.impact.acquire.TScanClock.scAnalogue is used for mvTITAN-RGB and mvTITAN-G1 devices and mv.impact.acquire.TScanClock.scDigital for mvGAMMA-G devices. Other devices currently do not support this feature.

scAnalogue 

The scan clock is generated by genlocking on horizontal sync.(HD) signal.

Deprecated
Beginning with the release of 3.0.0 of Impact Acquire everything specifically related to frame grabber boards will be considered as deprecated and might be removed without further notice!

ADVANTAGES:

  • very small jitter (typically around some 100 pico seconds) -> suitable for high pixel clock (>20Mhz)
  • for matching HD freq. values (with respect to the signal sent by the camera) this will produce results almost as good as when working with an external clock signal(less scan artifacts)

DISADVANTAGES:

  • slow reaction time -> not suitable for fast channel switching
  • not suitable for signals with a pixel clock below 12 MHz
scDigital 

The scan clock is generated digitally.

Deprecated
Beginning with the release of 3.0.0 of Impact Acquire everything specifically related to frame grabber boards will be considered as deprecated and might be removed without further notice!

ADVANTAGE:

  • locked after a single line, therefore this mode is very useful for fast channel switching

DISADVANTAGE:

  • bigger jitter as the analogue mode(<10ns), therefore not suitable for cameras with a pixel clock higher than about 20Mhz
