Enum CameraAcquisitionStatus#

Acquisition states.

Name Number Description
CAMERA_ACQUISITION_STATUS_UNSPECIFIED 0 Default enum value.
CAMERA_ACQUISITION_STATUS_UNKNOWN 1 Should not occur in an initialized system.
CAMERA_ACQUISITION_STATUS_ERROR 2 The image acquisition device is in an error state and cannot be used.
CAMERA_ACQUISITION_STATUS_IDLE 3 The image acquisition device is ready to perform a task.
CAMERA_ACQUISITION_STATUS_BUSY 4 The image acquisition device is busy with other tasks and cannot be used for image acquisition.
CAMERA_ACQUISITION_STATUS_LIVE_ACQUISITION 5 The system is performing a scan and will continue until explicitly asked to stop.
We use the term "Live" instead of "Continuous" because in ZIS, "Continuous"
means "a time series of snaps with no delay between and no scheduled end".
CAMERA_ACQUISITION_STATUS_SINGLE_ACQUISITION 6 The system is performing a scan that has a scheduled
termination such as "at the end of the frame".
