Time Delay between Frames, DT Vision Foundry

Question:  In the Picture Tool of DTVF version 3.5, when the Time Delay is set to 0 msec for multiple Image Counts, the results, whether it be bitmaps or AVI, are not valid.  The same is true if using the API function call TimedAcquireToAVI.
 
Answer:  In the TimedAcquireToAvi call, change the TimeDelay parameter to 10msec instead of 0msec.  This value will not affect capture rate of 30 frames per second.  There is a delay of approx. 33 msec between each frame anyway, which is longer than the set parameter delay.  This is similar to performing the steps in the VF application for 30 Image Counts and a Time Delay of 0msec.  Change the delay to 10msec.  *Created 1/15/03.
