Grablink Quickpack CFA supports exclusively the automatic end trigger modes, as defined by EndTrigMode = AUTO. It is supported for both SNAPSHOT and HFR acquisition modes.

When AcquisitionMode = SNAPSHOT, Grablink Quickpack CFA takes care of a user break at the next phase (= frame) boundary if sequence is still in progress otherwise immediately if sequence is already finished; this behavior is reported by BreakEffect = FINISH.
When AcquisitionMode = HFR, Grablink Quickpack CFA takes care of a user break at the next slice (= frame) boundary if sequence is still in progress otherwise immediately if sequence is already finished; this behavior is reported by BreakEffect = FINISH.

Snapshot

The sequence length is specified by SeqLength_Fr; any value in range 1 to 65,534 specifies the number of acquired frames in a finite acquisition sequence; a value of -1 specifies an indefinite acquisition sequence.

HFR

The number of frames per acquisition phase is any number ranging from 2 to 255 specified by the user via PhaseLength_Fr. The upper limit of the frame rate is (500 * PhaseLength_Fr) frames per second.

The sequence length is specified by SeqLength_Fr; any value in range 1 to (PhaseLength_Fr * 65,534) specifies the number of acquired frames in a finite acquisition sequence; a value of -1 specifies an indefinite acquisition sequence.
