This example shows the simplest software-controlled way to grab several successive images image from a synchronous camera.

The initial trigger event (TE) is directly caused by the software-issued SAS event. Due to the synchronous nature of the camera, there is an uncontrolled delay between the SAS and SAP events.

Each subsequent TE event is conceptually sourced by the end of the preceding acquisition phase.

Specify the number of images to be acquired in a row with the parameter SeqLength_Fr. To acquire an undefined number of images, set SeqLength_Fr to MC_INDETERMINATE. In this case, the sequence will be stopped by returning the MultiCam channel to the idle state.

This mode of operation is often called "live acquisition".
