The Burst class provides methods for activating the burst trigger mode in GigE and USB 3 uEye cameras. In burst trigger mode, the camera captures a series of images in rapid succession on receipt of a single trigger signal. The trigger signal can be generated by the software (Force()) or transmitted via the digital input of the camera. The burst images are captured and transferred at maximum speed. The maximum speed depends on the pixel clock parameter (see Pixelclock) and the exposure time parameter (see Exposure). Transfer allows adjusting the latency of image data transfer.
The burst trigger mode can only be used in hardware trigger. For image acquisition, Capture() is used. A trigger is activated either via the camera's trigger pin or via a call to Force(). The UI-359xLE model and the uEye LE USB 3.1 Gen 1 camera family currently do not support the burst trigger mode. |
Note on trigger delay in burst trigger mode
If you set a trigger delay with Set(), the delay will only apply to the first image after each trigger signal.
