Description |
CONVERT |
MC_LineRateMode_CONVERT |
Rate Converter – The downweb line rate is derived from a train of trigger pulses processed by a rate converter belonging to the grabber. |
PULSE |
MC_LineRateMode_PULSE |
Trigger Pulse – The downweb line rate is directly derived from trigger pulses applied to the grabber. |
PERIOD |
MC_LineRateMode_PERIOD |
Periodic – The downweb line rate is internally generated by a periodic generator. |
CAMERA |
MC_LineRateMode_CAMERA |
Camera – The downweb line rate is originated by the camera. |

When LineRateMode is set to PERIOD, the downweb line rate is controlled by the Period_us parameter.
When LineRateMode is set to EXPOSE, the downweb line rate is controlled by the Expose_us parameter.
When LineRateMode is set to PULSE or CONVERT, the downweb line rate is directed by a pulse signal applied to line trigger hardware line selected by the LineTrigLine parameter.
The applicable line rate modes are depending on the selected LineCaptureMode and on the camera line-scanning mode. The camera line-scanning mode is determined by the Expose and Readout parameters (Camera Features Category). Two classes of camera line-scanning mode are considered in this case:
- Free-running cameras
- Controlled line rate cameras
