Image Acquisition Control
You should also be aware that if the Acquisition Frame Rate Abs parameter is enabled, it will
influence the rate at which images can be acquired:
If the Acquisition Frame Rate Abs parameter is set to a value less than the maximum allowed,
you can trigger acquisition at any rate up to the set value.
If the Acquisition Frame Rate Abs parameter is set to a value greater than the maximum
allowed, you can trigger acquisition at any rate up to the maximum allowed image acquisition
rate with the current camera settings.
You can set the exposure time and the Acquisition Mode parameter values from within your
application software by using the pylon API. You can also execute the Acquisition Start and Stop
commands. The following code snippet illustrates using the API to set the parameter values and
execute the commands:
Camera.TriggerSelector.SetValue( TriggerSelector_AcquisitionStart );
Camera.ExposureMode.SetValue( ExposureMode_Timed );
Camera.ExposureTimeAbs.SetValue( 3000 );
Camera.TriggerActivation.SetValue( TriggerActivation_RisingEdge );
Camera.AcquisitionMode.SetValue( AcquisitionMode_Continuous );
Camera.AcquisitionStart.Execute( );
Camera.AcquisitionStop.Execute( );
For detailed information about using the pylon API, refer to the Basler pylon Programmer's Guide
and API Reference.
You can also use the Basler pylon Viewer application to easily set the parameters.
For more information about the pylon Viewer, see Section 2.2 on
page 40.
For more information about the Trigger Ready signal, see Section 10.6 on
For more information about the camera's exposure time parameter, see Section 10.4 on
Note
The explanations in Section 10.3.3 and Section 10.3.4 are intended to give
you a basic idea of how the use of a hardware trigger works. For a more
complete description, refer to the Basler pylon Programmer's Guide and to the
sample programs included in the Basler pylon Software Development Kit
(SDK).
