Hello Jason, I'm sorry - we had a problem with the mailing list and I missed that your previous email.
Yes, it is possible to dynamically re-program the small window, to the extend it is supported by the sensor. 1) First of all you have to keep the window height constant - changing it may cause sensor to output bad frame and it will be skipped by the camera. 2) There is a lag between sending the window parameters to the sensor, the output of the new frame and compressing it in the camera (when you get the frame and can analyze the objects there. The camera supports pipeline modification of the parameters, when you provide the new values you also specify to what frame it applies. On the hardware level the parameters are stored in an 8 element circular buffer - the software driver places the new values there and the FPGA code applies them to the compressor and send to the sensor at appropriate time. The default "program ahead" (if you do not specify when the new parameters should be applied) is 3 frames, but you can change that in the php function call. The PHP functions only allow you to program within the capacity of the hardware buffer (up to 5 ahead, as of 8 elements others are kept after the frame), but using parsedit.php - called directly or through autocampars.php you can experiment with other program-ahead times, the software extends the hardware command buffer. The parsedit.php allows you to open 9 (that number can be changed) last images, each image has the image number, timestamp and parameters, so you can verify if any images are lost or corrupted).
