Acquisition Control

Acquisition Control:

  1. A and B: allow to have 2 global acquisition configurations. For example, use A for taking an actual acquisition and B for taking a snapshot (one frame).
  2. Exposure (ms)/Frequency (Hz): set the exposure time or frequency for camera firing, where Frequency = 1000 / Exposure.
  3. No. Of Images: set the total number of frames to acquire.
  4. ROI: crop a region of interest for imaging. For more details, check here.
  5. Dataset Tag: set the suffix for the output folder.
  6. Acquisition Tag: set the suffix for the output files.
  7. View/Stop Viewing: turn on/off the camera.
  8. Acquire/Stop: start/stop an acquisition (data is saved in real-time).
  9. Disable Real-Time Localization: disable runtime localization and localization will need to be run as post-processing.
  10. Mapping Date: show the date of the latest channel mapping calibration.
