5.3.2.2 Acquisition Status
If the camera is currently in the process of acquiring a frame, it may not be in a "waiting for frame
start trigger" acquisition status (i.e., it may not be ready to receive a new software frame start trigger
signal and begin acquiring a new frame).
You can use the acquisition status feature to determine whether the camera is ready to perform a
new frame acquisition. If you check the acquisition status before you apply each software frame
start trigger signal, you can avoid triggering the camera at a rate that exceeds the maximum allowed
with the current camera settings.
To determine the acquisition status of the camera via the Basler pylon API:
Use the Acquisition Status Selector to select the Frame Trigger Wait status.
Read the value of the Acquisition Status parameter.
If the value is set to "false", the camera is not ready to receive a frame start trigger signal.
If the value is set to "true", the camera is ready to receive a frame start trigger signal.
To determine the acquisition status of the camera via direct register access:
Read the value of the Status Frame Trigger Wait register.
If the value is set to 0 the camera is not ready to receive a frame start trigger signal.
If the value is set to 1, the camera is ready to receive a frame start trigger signal.
Section 5.3.2.3 includes more detailed information about checking the acquisition status using
Basler pylon or via direct register access.
