Event Control Feature Descriptions - Teledyne m640 User Manual

Event Control Feature Descriptions

The following table describes these parameters along with their view attribute and minimum
camera firmware version required. Additionally the Device Version column will indicate which
parameter is a member of the DALSA Features Naming Convention (denoted by DFNC), versus the
GenICam Standard Features Naming Convention (SFNC tag is not shown).
The Device Version number represents the camera software functional group, not a firmware
revision number. As Genie Nano capabilities evolve the device version tag will increase, therefore
identifying the supported function package. New features for a major device version release will be
indicated by green text

Description
Latch the current timestamp internal counter value
in the timestampValue feature.
Returns the 64-bit value of the timestamp, which
is the internal Clock timer or the PTP clock timer,
depending on the Timestamp Source selection.
Specifies the source used as the incrementing
signal for the Timestamp register.
The timestamp source is generated by the camera
internal clock. Refer to the
timestampTickFrequency feature for the time
base.
The timestamp source is controlled by the network
IEEE1588 protocol. This source is automatically
selected when PTP mode is enabled.
Indicates the number of timestamp ticks (or
increments) during 1 second (frequency in Hz).
This feature changes depending on the TimeStamp
Source.
Specifies the internal event or signal that will latch
the timestamp counter into the timestamp buffer.
The timestamp is latched on frame start.
Resets the timestamp counter to 0. This Feature
resets both the internal Clock timer and the PTP
clock timer. Note that the PTP Mode must be
disabled first to reset the PTP clock timer.
Select the Event to enable/disable with the
EventNotification feature.
Event sent on control channel on an Active Frame.
This occurs with the start of the exposure delay.
Event sent on control channel on start of
exposure.
Event sent on control channel on end of exposure.
Event sent on control channel when the
AcquisitionStart command can be used again.
Event sent on control channel when a valid frame
trigger is generated.
Event sent on control channel when a frame
trigger occurs in an invalid Trigger region.
Therefore the trigger is rejected and no frame
acquisition occurs.
Event sent on control channel when an image is
lost due to insufficient memory.
