This chapter contains the descriptions of all supported features from the Counter And Timer Control category.

The counter is a tool that increments its value on each occurence of a signal or event.

Typical examples for counters are:

•Frame or image counter: counts the number of images that have been captured.

•Trigger counter: counts the signals received on an I/O line for triggering the image capture.

•Trigger missed counter: counts the number of signals for image capture that could not be processed.

With timers, the camera can time and delay operations for a specific period.

Typical examples for timers are:

•Out signal with duration: after an event, e.g. a missed image capture trigger, the camera emits an out signal on line 1 for a duration of 10 ms.

•Out signal with delay: after an event, e.g. a missed image capture trigger, the camera waits 500 ms before emitting an out signal on line 1.

Timers can also measure the time that passes between two events.
