AW00123409000 Image Acquisition Control
Basler ace USB 3.0 171
When the camera is set for the trigger width exposure mode, you can avoid overtriggering by
monitoring the rise of the Frame Trigger Wait signal. It is based on the Exposure Overlap Time Max
parameter setting and on when readout of the current frame will end. This functionality is illustrated
in Figure 78.
For information about the Exposure Overlap Time Max parameter and its use in the context of
exposure overlap time modes, see Section 6.4.3.2 on page 129.
For more information about the electrical characteristics of camera output lines, see Section 5.8.1
on page 75 and Section 5.9.4.1 on page 82.

acA3800-14um/uc, acA4600-10uc Only)
For cameras with a rolling shutter, the rise of the Frame Trigger Wait signal is based on the minimum
time required between the end of exposure of the first line in a frame and the start of exposure for
the first line in the following frame. This functionality is illustrated in Figure 79.
If you are operating a camera with a rolling shutter, you can avoid overtriggering by always making
sure that the Frame Trigger Wait signal is high before you trigger the start of frame capture.
