The sequencer wizard addresses the GenICam™ Sequencer Control feature category and aims to provide an easy way to set up a sequencer on a device. A detailed description of the GenICam™ related features used by the wizard can either be found in the product specific manual which provides a use-case explaining the general concept of the sequencer as well as various background information needed in order to make good use of this feature and the wizard, the Impact Acquire API documentation or the GenICam™ SFNC (Standard Features Naming Convention).
Having a good basic understanding about the GenICam™ SFNC Sequencer Control concepts is required to efficiently work with a sequencer on a device as it on of the most complex features offered by a device.
In the upper left region of the dialog the features to be used by the sequencer can be configured. Only the once required should be enabled here in order to reduce complexity to a minimum. Switching off all features not needed might also result in faster switching time on the device when jumping from one set to another at runtime!
The wizard allows to add/remove sequencer sets and also to define a starting set for the sequencer operation by some buttons. The right side of the dialog can be used to configure each set individually as required. In the lower right section each set can - depending on certain conditions - be connected with another set. When loops or open ends are detected warnings will be displayed automatically in this area and also the sets might get a different background color then.
- Note
- Only GenICam™ devices supporting the Sequencer Control category will support this wizard.
