Image Acquisition Control
68 Basler scout light
Formula 2:
Max Frames/s = 491.0 frames/s
Formula 3:
Packets per frame = 39.9
(Round the result up to 40.)
Max Frames/s = 200 frames/s
Formula one returns the lowest value. So in this case, the limiting factor is the sensor readout time
and the maximum allowed acquisition frame rate would be 51.7 frames per second.
6.10.1 Effect of the Packet Size Setting on the Maximum
Allowed Frame Rate
After a camera acquires a frame, the image data is read out from the sensor into a buffer. Once the
frame has been read out to the buffer, the data is packetized and transmitted across the IEEE 1394b
bus to your host PC.
A parameter called Packet Size determines the number of bytes of data that will be included in each
packet transferred across the bus. The minimum value for the Packet Size parameter is 1 and the
maximum value is 8192. Normally, the value of the Packet Size parameter is set to the maximum
and at maximum, the Packet Size parameter has no noticeable effect on the operation of the
camera.
If you lower the value of the Packet Size parameter, the amount of image data included in each
packet transmitted across the bus will be lower. This means that it will take more packets to transmit
each frame and since the cycle time of the IEEE 1394b bus is fixed, it also means that it will take
more time to transmit each frame. If you lower the Packet Size parameter enough, the slower data
transfer rate can begin to affect the maximum allowed frame capture rate of your camera. If you
look at the formulas the previous section, you will notice that one of the factors that can limit the
maximum allowed frame rate is the number of packets needed to transmit a frame. The number of
packets per frame is directly related to the Packet Size parameter setting.
You can see the effect of changing the Packet Size parameter by looking at the read only parameter
called Resulting Frame Rate Abs. The Resulting Frame Rate Abs parameter indicates the
