Area-Scan Acquisition Mode
When the board is configured for image acquisition from area-scan cameras:
- The rising edge of FVAL is used as a start of frame signal.
- The falling edge of FVAL is ignored.
FVAL timing diagram (area-scan acquisition mode)
If the acquisition trigger is armed when FVAL raises, the board
- Skips a pre-defined amount (VsyncAft_Ln) of video data lines at begin of frame (BOF),
- Acquires a pre-defined amount (Vactive_Ln) of video data lines,
- Terminates the image acquisition
The subsequent video data lines are all skipped until a new FVAL rising edge occurs.
