Acquisition Control Feature Descriptions

The following table describes these parameters along with their view attribute. Note that
when using the Sapera LT API to control a camera, most of these features (exception
made for AcquisitionArm and transferFrameSkip) are handled by Sapera LT's
SapTransfer object).

Acquisition Buffering
All acquisitions are internally buffered and transferred as fast as possible to the host
system. This internal buffer allows uninterrupted acquisitions no matter of any transfer
delays that might occur (such as acquisition frame rates faster that the Gigabit Ethernet
link or the IEEE Pause
Lost Event be generated (currently this is reported in the frame's metadata only, see the
Metadata section).
