Examples using Timestamp Modulo Event for Acquisitions

The Timestamp Modulo event is used to automate repetitive acquisitions based on the
camera's internal Timestamp counter (which can optionally be synchronized to other
devices through the PTP protocol)
The Timestamp counter increments continuously but can be reset to zero by writing to
the TimestampReset feature.
Case Examples Overview
The following case examples use a simplified Timestamp timeline, which for clarity is
shown with time tics from 00 to 60 without units. A timeline scale based on real time is
not required to describe the usage concepts.
Case 1: Simple Repeating Acquisitions as Upcoming Events
Conditions:
• initial TimestampReset resets Timestamp counter
• timestampModuloStartTime
• timestampModulo = 10
After the Timestamp Reset, the first acquisition is made when the Modulo reaches the
programmed start time. Acquisitions repeat at every +10 Timestamp ticks until
stopped. A number of initial frames may not be output by the camera to let the sensor
operating conditions stabilize.
