Another way to observe this is to go to the Feature Tree Tab. Scroll down to see the GigE Image Acquisition section. This will show you if packets are being dropped as it is taking pictures. Again, adjust the packet parameters on the camera to keep this from happening. You may also experiment with lowering Interpacket Delay. 6000 is a high default. On a good PC and NIC, this can be lowered to reach the fastest camera rates. The Missing Packet indicator, along with the FPS reading at the bottom of the screen are the guides for this operation. Once you are done tuning these values, they should be copied to the registry so they get set explicitly by Visionscape when new jobs are created.
7.5 - Issues with 12 MP and 20 MP Rolling Shutter Cameras The larger format, rolling shutter cameras may present some communication issues where users may still experience dropped packets. In this case, the user is advised to use the JAI Control Tool to set the Sensor Shutter Mode to Global Reset rather than Rolling. In this case strobe lighting is preferred. Save the settings to a user set so the camera will power up in this new mode. Using Sentech STC-M Cameras with AutoVISION and Visionscape Page 30 of 35
