8.2.3.3 Setting the Frame Start Trigger Parameters
You can set the Trigger Mode, Trigger Source, and Trigger Activation parameter values for the
frame start trigger from within your application software by using the pylon API. If your settings
make it necessary, you can also issue a Trigger Software command. The following code snippet
illustrates using the API to set the frame start trigger to mode = on, with rising edge triggering on
input line 1:
// Select the trigger you want to work with
Camera.TriggerSelector.SetValue( TriggerSelector_FrameStart );
// Set the mode for the selected trigger
Camera.TriggerMode.SetValue( TriggerMode_On );
// Set the source for the selected trigger
Camera.TriggerSource.SetValue ( TriggerSource_Line1 );
// Set the activation scheme for the selected trigger
Camera.TriggerActivation.SetValue( TriggerActivation_RisingEdge );
For detailed information about using the pylon API, refer to the Basler pylon Programmer’s Guide
and API Reference.
You can also use the Basler pylon Viewer application to easily set the parameters.
For more information about the pylon Viewer, see Section 3.1 on page 23.
