1.18.8.1.2.1 External synchronized image acquisition (high active)
Note
Using mvBlueFOX-MLC or mvBlueFOX-IGC, you have to select DigIn0 as the trigger source, because
the camera has only one opto-coupled input. Only the TTL model of the mvBlueFOX-MLC has two I/O's.
• Trigger modes
– OnHighLevel:
The high level of the trigger has to be shorter than the frame time. In this case, the sensor will make
one image exactly. If the high time is longer, there will be images with the possible frequency of the
sensor as long as the high level takes. The first image will start with the low-high edge of the signal.
The integration time of the exposure register will be used.
– OnLowLevel:
The first image will start with the high-low edge of the signal.
– OnHighExpose
This mode is like OnHighLevel, however, the exposure time is used like the high time of the signal.
