Sustained Acquisition Sequence
In many circumstances, it is possible to derive the SAP of an acquisition phase from the EAP of the previous one.
This results in a sustained or live acquisition, with no intervening between acquisition phases.
In the area-scan case, this conceptual model represents the way to implement the acquisition of a synchronous-mode camera frame sequence.
In the line-scan case, this conceptual model represents the way to implement the acquisition of a continuous flow of video lines. There is no gap between acquisition phases.
