IDS peak 2.8.0 / uEye+ firmware 3.33

This chapter contains the descriptions of all supported features from the Flash Control category.

It allows you to generate a configurable "FlashActive" signal that automatically adjusts to the current sensor settings. The generated signal can be used in LineSource or PWMTriggerSource.

•By default, the "FlashActive" signal reflects "ExposureActive" ("ExposureActive" is selected for reference in FlashReference). You can adjust the signal with FlashStartDelay and FlashEndDelay. This allows you to enable flash before exposure, as negative delays are possible depending on the camera and settings.

•The "FlashActive" signal can also reflect a "GlobalFlashWindow" for rolling shutter sensors ("GlobalFlashWindow" is selected for reference in FlashReference). "FlashActive" automatically adjusts when you change the sensor settings. You can also adjust the signal with FlashStartDelay and FlashEndDelay. If "GlobalFlashWindow" is not possible, no "FlashActive" signal is generated.

FlashStartDelay and FlashEndDelay are reset if you change the settings in FlashReference.
