Populating the Sequence Parameter Sets

Before you begin using the sequencer feature, you must populate the sequence parameter sets

with values that will be useful for your particular situation. You should use the following procedure

to populate the sequence parameter sets:

 Make sure that the sequencer feature is disabled.

 Set up your first acquisition scenario (i.e., lighting, object positioning, etc.)

 Adjust the camera parameters to get the best image quality with this scenario (you are

adjusting the parameters in the active parameter set).

 Use the Sequence Set Selector to select sequence parameter set 0, 1, 2, or 3.

 Execute the Sequence Set Store command to copy the sequenceable parameter values

currently in the active parameter set into the selected sequence set. (Any existing parameter

values in the sequence parameter set will be overwritten.)

 Repeat the above steps for the other sequence parameter sets.

There is also a command called Sequence Set Load that can be useful when working with the

sequence parameter sets. If you use the Sequence Set Selector parameter to select a sequence

parameter set and then you execute the Sequence Set Load command, the sequenceable

parameter values in the active set will be replaced by the values stored in the selected sequence

set. This ability can be useful in two situations. First, if you simply want to see how the parameters

currently stored in one of the sequence parameter sets will affect camera operation, you can load

the parameters from that sequence parameter set into the active parameter set and see what

happens. Second, if you want to prepare a new sequence parameter set and you know that an

existing set is already close to what you will need, you can load the existing sequence set into the

active set, make some small changes to the active set, and then save the active set to one of the

other sequence parameter sets.

Because the sequence parameter sets reside in volatile memory, they are not

retained if camera power is switched off.
