I/O controlled sequence pointer reset

I/O controlled sequence pointer reset is always edge controlled. A rising edge
on the input pin resets the pointer to the first entry.

I/O controlled sequence pointer reset can be combined with Quick Format
Change Modes
. See Chapter

Standard Parameter Update Timing

on page 185

and Chapter

New: Quick Format Change Mode (QFCM)

on page 185.

I/O controlled sequence stepping mode and I/O controlled
sequence pointer reset via software command

Both sequence modes can be controlled via software command.

Points to pay attention to when working with a
sequence

The following screenshot shows an example of a sequence for eight different
image settings. It uses the AVT Firetool program as graphical representation.
Please note the changes in the shutter time; that creates descending image
brightness, and the change in the image position; which creates a panning
effect.

Note

If more images are recorded than defined in SeqLength,
the settings for the last image remain in effect.

If sequence mode is cancelled, the camera can use the
FIFO for other tasks. For this reason, a sequence must be
loaded back into the camera after sequence mode has
been cancelled.

To repeat the sequence, stop the camera and send the
multi-shot or IsoEnable command again. Each of these
two commands resets the sequence.

Using SingleShot mode in combination with a sequence
does not make sense, because SingleShot mode restarts
the sequence every time.

The sequence may not be active when setting the AutoRe-
wind flag. For this reason it is important to set the flag
before the multi-shot or IsoEnable commands.

If the sequence is used with the deferred transport fea-
ture, the number of images entered in Seq_Length may
not be exceeded.
