Setting the Delay Time with an Absolute Value

You can also set the timer 1 delay by using an "absolute" value. This is accomplished by setting the

Timer Delay Abs parameter. The units for setting this parameter are µs and the value can be set in

increments of 1 µs.

To set the delay for timer 1 using an absolute value:

 Use the Timer Selector to select timer 1.

 Set the value of the Timer Delay Abs parameter.

You can set the Timer Selector and the Timer Delay Abs parameter value from within your

application software by using the pylon API. The following code snippet illustrates using the API to

set the selector and the parameter value:

Camera.TimerSelector.SetValue( TimerSelector_Timer1 );

Camera.TimerDelayAbs.SetValue( 100 );

When you use the Timer Delay Abs parameter to set the delay time, the camera accomplishes the

setting change by automatically changing the Timer Delay Raw parameter to achieve the value

specified by the Timer Delay Abs setting. This leads to a limitation that you must keep in mind if you

use Timer Delay Abs parameter to set the delay time. That is, you must set the Timer Delay Abs

parameter to a value that is equivalent to a setting you could achieve by using the Timer Delay Raw

and the current Timer Delay Base parameters. For example, if the time base was currently set to

50 µs, you could use the Timer Delay Abs parameter to set the delay to 50 µs, 100 µs, 150 µs, etc.

Note that if you set the Timer Delay Abs parameter to a value that you could not achieve by using

the Timer Delay Raw and current Timer Delay Time Base parameters, the camera will automatically

change the setting for the Timer Delay Abs parameter to the nearest achieveable value.

You should also be aware that if you change the delay time using the raw settings, the Timer Delay

Abs parameter will automatically be updated to reflect the new delay time.
