7. Autonomous Camera Operation

In addition to standard umbilical operation the SharkEye™ camera can be used in autonomous mode. Images can be

captured according to a predefined acquisition schedule or be triggered through optional external control lines.

7.1 Scheduled Operation

Selecting Communication/Autonomous Configuration from the main menu will display the Autonomous Mode

Configuration dialog window.

The currently programmed autonomous mode configuration is displayed in the text box in the bottom left of the dialog.

To program a new autonomous mode schedule, select the desired exposure in the panel on this dialog. Select the

desired mission start date and time and the desired time between autonomous image captures. Then press the Set

Configuration button to download the new schedule to the camera.

The new autonomous mode schedule will be used whenever the camera On/Off Knob is set to the "Stand by" position

(halfway between On and Off.)

7.2 External Triggered Operation (Optional)

An image capture can also be triggered through the use of the optional external trigger lines. An image capture will occur

whenever pins 5 & 6 of the Umbilical connector are shorted together. The camera will use exposure settings defined by

the autonomous mode configuration. When using the External Trigger the mission start date should be set well into the

future so that the camera does not acquire images according to the autonomous schedule. The camera knob should be

set in the On position to insure that the SharkEye™ camera is ready to accept external trigger commands.
