Newsletter 01/2014
Hello,
In print, on TV, and online, the old year ended with a great many end-of-year retrospectives. However, we do not want to add one more to the list; we just want to sum up by saying: Thank you very much!
With your help, we finished 2013 as the most successful year of our history.
In order that you continue to place your trust in us, we will keep on developing trend-setting products, implementing new features, and helping you with active advice and support. Perhaps you will find something interesting in this newsletter?
Regards
Your MATRIX VISION Team
Sequencer Mode feature: Hardly in the GenICam release, already in the camera
The latest release of the GenICam SFNC (Standard Feature Naming Convention) introduces a new GenICam feature: the Sequencer Mode. With this mode you can define sequences, which contain a parameter set. You can define a linear acquisition sequence, for example, with different exposure times. It is also possible to create acquisition sequences depending on trigger inputs and trigger signals. All in all, this is a powerful tool.
From mvIMPACT Acquire version 2.5.20, you can test the new Sequencer Mode with the CCD versions of mvBlueCOUGAR-X and mvBlueCOUGAR-XD. Here you can acquire image sequences with different exposure times without switching delays. We will add further parameters, cameras, and features in future.
In the manuals we added a use case concerning the Sequencer Mode.
