Using the Acquisition Parameters Pane
The tool allows you to set acquisition parameters directly in the desktop using the
Acquisition Parameters pane. Settings you make will apply to the currently selected
device format in the Hardware Browser.
The Acquisition Parameters pane contains the following tabs:
• General – Use to set up general acquisition parameters, such as frames per trigger
and color space.
• Device Properties – Use to view or change device-specific properties.
• Logging – Use to set up logging options, such as logging mode, which determines
whether your acquired data is logged to memory, disk, or both. If you want to
generate a VideoWriter file of your data, use the Disk Logging option on this tab.
• Triggering – Use to set up triggering options, such as number of triggers and trigger
type. If you want to do manual triggering using the Trigger button, use the Trigger
Type option on this tab.
• Region of Interest – Use to set a Region of Interest (ROI) if you only want to use
part of an image.
For more detailed information about the settings on each tab, see the Help topic for the
tab while using the tool. When you click a tab, the corresponding topic will appear in the
Desktop Help pane.
