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
New: Quick Format Change Mode (QFCM)
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.
