Hi, I am using a monochrome Basler Cameralink Camera(A504K)of resolution 1280x1024 with a card grabber PCIE-1429 (x4 slot). The image acquisition is controlled through MAX of LabVIEW version 11.0.1. The problem is that when I try to reduce the number of rows(more specifically Height) from 1024 to 32(say)in the acquisition window(of MAX), the frame rate of the camera should increase almost upto 16,000fps. But it is not going beyond 248fps. Can you suggest me, why is it so happening, Or How to increase its frame rate? Also, below the image window there appeared something like: 1280x32 1X 8-bit image 9. What does 1X actually mean here?For your ready reference I am also attaching the image of the acquisation window. Thanks!

Hi Romai, Changing the height of your image in MAX will not increase the frame rate of your acquisiton - the camera is still sending the same number of lines per frame, you've just told the software to stop reading them sooner. The next frame still doesn't occur until the next FVAL edge. The 1x at the bottom indicates that you are viewing the image at a magnification of 1x. In MAX, you can zoom in and zoom out, and this indicator lets you know your current zoom level.
