Is there anything that can be done to improve this?
« on: September 10, 2024, 12:56:40 AM »
I am recording one image per trigger. I am able to achieve this by setting the trigger to "Record End Trigger" and setting the record mode to "Segmented". I then set record length (frames) to 500 and number of segments to 500. This gets me 500 frames in a recording corresponding to 500 triggers. The problem I have is that after ending the recording and pressing the play button there is a variable amount of delay before I can play back the recording. If my trigger is very slow (let's say 1 second interval), then playback is immediate. However, if my trigger is fast (let's say 50 millisecond interval), then playback doesn't start for over two minutes. Is there anything that can be done to improve this? Most of the time we want to record images of products that are created at between 50 and 100 milliseconds each. Thanks.

Are you using the Aux input? I tested this with the standard BNC trigger cable and am only seeing about a 1 second delay when switching from recording to playback mode.

This is a limitation of recording products at a fast rate. But this delay is usually not a big deal if you don't set the time interval too fast.
