5.4.1.1 Acquisition Mode

The AcquisitionMode property controls the acquisition mode of the device. It deﬁnes the number of

shown in Table 30.

The camera captures only one frame and stops the

SingleFrame

acquisition

The camera captures a speciﬁc number of frames set by the

MultiFrame

AcquisitionFrameCount property and stops the acquisition

Table 30: AcquisitionMode values

The AcquisitionFrameRate property is a feature which limits the frequency at which images are captured

by the camera. Using the AcquisitionFrameRate feature it is possible to decrease the number of frames the

camera acquires and transmits in free run mode, which consequently lowers the bandwidth required by the

camera.

This feature is useful in situations where the link bandwidth is limited, like in applications where several

GigE Vision cameras stream images to PC via switch and there is single Gigabit Ethernet link connecting

switch and NIC on PC.

Setting the AcquisitionFrameRate property to zero effectively disables the feature, allowing the camera to

acquire and transfer images at maximum frame rate.

The Trigger Features chapter describes features related to synchronizing the camera with an external device

or software application.

The TriggerSelector property provides access to the properties of different triggers supported by the

camera, as shown in Table 31.
