Note

A Request in the Impact Acquire API represents a buffer where an image with the current device configuration is captured into. In order to avoid losing images at a high FPS, it's recommended to increase the number of these request buffers (i.e. ' RequestCount' in ' SystemSettings', by default the value is set to 4 for Balluff USB2.0 cameras), so that the driver can continue capturing image data even if the host application is sometimes slower at processing an image than the camera at transferring one. As a rule of thumb, the number of capture buffers should be configured roughly within the range of FPS/2 and FPS/5. In the following test, the RequestCount is set to 20 which is roughly FPS/5.
