I'm trying to use Hamamatsu camera to record sequence images. The Hamamatsu camera I'm using is C4742-95-12ER. It has maximum fps of 8Hz. Becuase using labview driver cannot change the binning of the camera, I used the driver offered on Hamamatsu website and interface with IMAQ. When I just show image on front panel and set Wait till next ms at 125ms, the real loop time period fluctuate about 125ms, which is consistent with the 8Hz. However, when I switch the Start recording button on so that image file is saved as TIFF file into hard disk, the rate jumps way below the 125ms.
Another question I have for my application is that, if I understand it correctly, the camera records the image and store it in the buffer before the labview calls the image. Is there a way to know at what exact time the image is taken or is there a way to set the exactly interval between two frames (the interval between two sequential images are taken by the camera)?
Thank you very much.
Best,
Charles
