Acquisition Method

To be able to perform an image acquisition, a given application should create at least one channel. A given application can create as many channels as required.

The usual method is the channel-specific acquisition method where each channel is controlled individually.

The following diagram shows how to control the acquisition sequence individually per channel defined inside the application.

Control the acquisition sequence individually

About switched acquisitions, an automatic switching mechanism is also available in the channel-specific acquisition method. It allows an optimized time sharing of grabber resource due to multiple channel acquisitions. For more information, see Understanding Automatic Switching.
