[micro-manager-general] 'burst' mode cannot reach the camera's highest speed

[刘恒 <li...@gm...>]

Hi,everyone.



I am a new user in the MicroManager community.The camera is Cascade 128+
bought from Photometrics and the driver is PVCam.I would like to acquire
images as quickly as possible. When using PMCapture Pro ,another acquisition
software which is supplied by the third party, frames rates measure 4X4
pixels region at 12MHz with 0-second exposure times  can reach 5405 frames
per second. However, when using ‘burst’ mode of MM, the rates with 0-second
exposure times only stay about 1000 frames per second. The property setting
is: ’ClearMode’: pre-sequnce; ’Pmode’: Frame Transfer Parallel Clocking;
’shutter mode’: pre-sequnce; ’TriggerMode’: timed. What’s more, I cannot set
‘TriggerMode’’ to be triggerfirst.

Another problem is that it takes more than 40 minutes to save 20000 frames
measure 4X4 pixels region at 16bits to hard disk. Is there any methods to
speed?



Best Wishes to all!
