Data acquisition modes
Some measurement problems require more effort than reading one single input.
Depending on the circumstances, a fixed number of measurements with well defined timing or an endless
stream of measurements is desired. Sometimes, data acquisition should take place only when there is a
trigger event (i.e. a external digital signal switches from low to high).
Software timed - one single frame
Capture and return one frame. The time when the frame is captured is not exactly defined. It depends on the
timing, the system needs to process the request, send it to the CEBO-LC device and process it there.
Hardware timed - continuous frames
Capture and return a unlimited number of frames. The frame acquisition frequency is generated by an
internal hardware timer of the CEBO-LC. The Frame data is endlessly streamed to the host system.
The maximum frame acquisition frequency is limited by the data transfer rate between the CEBO-LC and the
host system.
Hardware timed - buffered frames
