When in Single or Multiple mode, the driver sets framesRemaining to 1 or numImages, respectively. However, when it receives a bad frame, it won't decrement framesRemaining nor reissue new triggers, which will leave the driver stuck in the Acquire state.

Although ideally the driver shouldn't be receiving bad frames, I think it shouldn't get stuck when it does. However, I don't know how to properly address that. Should it fail and return an error? Should it reissue the acquisition for the frames that came in bad? What about hardware triggers?

Hi,

From my use of the prosilica there seems to be some inconsistencies and problems with the timestamping. I noticed that on IOC start the timestamps are not correct and this is probably do the fact that the camera is not "synchronized" with the IOC and the function prosilica::syncTimer() is not called on startup which means that lastSyncTime is uninitialized.

I would suggest that on successful connection that prosilica::syncTimer() is called to ensure that the camera and IOC can give reliable timestamps.

Also, while I know that it might be too late to change defaults, I think that the default for the timestamps should be PSTimestampTypePOSIX as this is more likely the intended use. Unless someone really wants to do something like XPCS and need a vary accurate interval timer then I am not sure of the utility of the other options in the majority of uses.

It is also unclear to me that if the TSE field is set to -2 what happens if timestamping is set to using the "native tics" ... But I haven't had a chance to test.

Any thoughts @MarkRivers? I would be happy to make these changes and do a PR, but before hand would like to do something which is consistent and useful!

Probably this is a simple fix, but I can't get 'make clean' to work.
