Cameras

Supported Drivers

StimControl currently has support for generic functionality of any IMAQ-supported device, and some specific functionality for gentl & gigE cameras. You will need to go into InitialiseSession and SetParams within CameraComponent to add different cameras with specialised functionality.

Common Issues

If your camera is not saving the number of frames you expected based on the triggers being output, check the following:

• The correct number of triggers are being generated
• The camera is acquiring the correct number of triggers (set OutputLine and record it somewhere)
• The camera's exposure time is not too long for the desired framerate

Other Features

Matlab's SelectedSource API is string-based, so it can be difficult to find the commands for the individual camera's API. In the case of Basler cameras, you can find this information on the Basler product documentation. Useful for things like hardware trigger configuration.
