Acquire Image (IEEE 1394 or GigE) Controls

• Acquire Single Image—Acquires and displays a single image from an IEEE 1394 or Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) camera. When you click this button, the step acquires and displays the next image provided by the camera. If the camera is in a triggered mode, the step waits for the next trigger signal to acquire and display an image.
• Acquire Continuous Images—Performs a continuous acquisition, or a triggered grab if the camera is in a triggered mode, and displays the image. When you click this button, the step starts the continuous acquisition and display of images. If the camera is in a triggered mode, the step waits for the next trigger signal to acquire and display a new image for each iteration. Click this button a second time to stop the continuous image acquisition.
• Refresh List of Devices—Refreshes the Devices list on the Main tab.
• Sequence Acquisition—Acquires a sequence of images. You can choose to trigger the start of a sequence or to trigger each image of the sequence.
• Store Acquired Image in Browser—Sends the image to the Image Browser.
