IDS Software Suite 4.96.1

In freerun mode, the camera sensor captures one image after another at the set frame rate. Exposure of the current image and readout/transfer of the previous image data are performed simultaneously. This allows the maximum camera frame rate to be achieved. The frame rate and the exposure time can be set separately. The captured images can be transferred one by one or continuously to the PC.

If trigger mode is active, you need to disable it with is_SetExternalTrigger() before activating freerun mode.

•Single frame mode (snap mode)
When is_FreezeVideo() is called, the next image exposed by the sensor is transferred. You cannot use the flash outputs in this mode.

•Continuous mode (live mode)
When is_CaptureVideo() is called, images are captured and transferred continuously. You can use the uEye flash outputs.

For more information on the capture modes of the uEye cameras see also Camera basics: Freerun.
