Trigger Overlap; Memory Shot - Sony XCG-CG160 Technical Manual

Trigger Overlap

The trigger signals can be accepted during the sensor readout signals are asserted.
If the trigger cycle overs the maximum value of the frame rate, images are distorted.
Set FastTriggerMode to OFF for XCG-CG160/CG160C and XCG-CG510/CG510C.

Memory shot

Memory shot is a function that controls the exposure timing and image output to the network individually. This is
effective when multiple cameras are connected to the same network and it is necessary to expose them at the same time
in a configuration that exceeds 1 Gbps band when operated simultaneously.
Memory shot is available in multi-frame mode or single-frame mode.
Number of images that can be saved is determined by image size and pixel format.
How to use:
Set the image size and pixel format. Turn on the memory shot mode in AcquisitionStop status.
Designate the number of images to record in AcquisitionFrameCount. The maximum number that can be stored can be
obtained as the max value of AcquisitionFrameCount in GenICam API.
When you execute AcquisitionStart, the exposure starts immediately and the image data is stored in the internal memory
when the trigger is in the OFF state. Recording will be finished when the number of images meets the designated
number. At this time, the recording completion notification is sent to the application with Event(ID=0xB000).
The image is output when the output start command is sent.
