5.12 Image Burst

The camera contains an image memory (RAM) of 2 Gbit. A number of images can be stored in
this memory at high speed and the data can later be read out at normal GigE speed. This
feature is called Image Burst. The number of images that can be stored in the memory depends
on the dimension of the output image and on the data resolution. E.g. the memory stores 21
full images at 8 bit data resolution.

Table 5.9: Image Burst parameters
Image Burst can be used if you want to the acquire a number of images at high speed and
there is a large time between successive burst acquisitions. In this case there is enough time to
read out the memory at the slower GigE speed between the bursts.
ImageBurst_Enable must be enabled to be able to store images to the memory. Images are
stored when acquisition is started. When the memory is full, the writing is stopped. The flags
ImageBurst_MemoryFull and ImageBurst_MemoryOverflow indicate the status of writing.

Description
Enable Image Burst.
Reset the write pointer to the start of the
RAM
Start readout of the memory.
Start image of the read out. Image 1 is the
first image in the memory.
Number of images to read out from memory
Maximal number of images that can be
stored in memory with the current settings
(read only).
Indication if memory is full (read only).
Indication if all images could have been
stored in the memory (read only). If this
property is True, then one or more images
were not written to the memory because the
memory was full.
Indication if the memory is currently read
out. If this propery is True then any new read
request (property
ImageBurst_StartReadMemory) will be ignored.
Update the ImageBurst status indicators.
