Using the Load Command

There is also the Sequencer Set Load command that can be useful when working with the
sequencer sets for testing purposes. If you select a sequencer set by using its index number and
then you execute the Sequencer Set Load command, the sequencer-controlled parameter values
in the active set will be replaced by the values stored for the selected sequencer set.
This ability can be useful in two situations. First, if you simply want to see how the parameters
currently stored for one of the sequencer sets will affect camera operation, you can load the
parameters from that sequencer set into the active set and see what happens. Second, if you want
to prepare a new sequencer set and you know that an existing set is already close to what you will
need, you can load the existing sequencer set into the active set, make some small changes to the
active set, and then save the active set as a new sequencer set.
Make sure the sequencer mode is set to Off before issuing the Sequence Set Load command.
Replacing the sequence-controlled parameter values in the active set via the
Sequencer Set Load command is associated with a delay between sending the
software command and it becoming effective. The delay will depend on the
specific installation and the current load on the network. Accordingly, the number
of image acquisitions that can occur between sending the command and it
becoming effective can not be predicted. The Sequencer Set Load command is
therefore not suitable for real-time applications, it can, however, be useful for
testing purposes.
The following code snippet illustrates using the API to load the sequencer set parameter values
from sequencer set 1 into the active set:
// Select sequencer set 1 by its index number
camera.SequencerSetSelector.SetValue(1);
// Load the sequencer parameter values from the sequencer set into the active set
camera.SequencerSetLoad.Execute( );
You can also use the Basler pylon Viewer application to easily set the parameters.
