Figure 1: Take two images with different expose times after an external trigger
Note
Due to the internal loop to wait for a trigger signal, the WaitClocks call between "TriggerSet 1" and "←-
TriggerReset" constitute 100. For this reason, the trigger signal cannot be missed.
Before the ExposeReset, you have to call the TriggerReset otherwise the normal flow will continue and
the image data will be lost!
The sensor expose time after the TriggerSet is 0.

Download this sample as an rtp file: 2Images2DifferentExposureTimes.rtp with two con-
secutive exposure times (10ms / 20ms). To open the file in wxPropView (p. 68), click on "Digital I/O
-> HardwareRealTimeController -> Filename" and select the downloaded file. Afterwards,
click on "int Load( )" to load the HRTC program. There are timeouts added in line 4 and line 14 to illustrate
the different exposure times.
Using a CMOS model (e.g. the mvBlueFOX-MLC205), a sample with four consecutive exposure times (10ms / 20ms
/ 40ms / 80ms) triggered just by one hardware input signal would look like this:
0. WaitDigin DigIn0->On
1. TriggerSet
2. WaitClocks 10000 (= 10 ms)
3. TriggerReset
4. WaitClocks 1000000 (= 1 s)
5. TriggerSet
6. WaitClocks 20000 (= 20 ms)
7. TriggerReset
8. WaitClocks 1000000 (= 1 s)
9. TriggerSet
10. WaitClocks 40000 (= 40 ms)
11. TriggerReset
12. WaitClocks 1000000 (= 1 s)
13. TriggerSet
14. WaitClocks 80000 (= 40 ms)
15. TriggerReset
16. WaitClocks 1000000 (= 1 s)
17. Jump 0
