AW00118508000 Acquisition Control
Basler racer Camera Link 63
1. Set the value of the Acquisition Line Period Enable register to 0 (false).
(This will disable the camera’s ability to internally control the line period and allow you to
control the line rate with software trigger signals.)
2. Set the value of the Trigger Mode Line Start register to On.
3. Set the value of the Trigger Source Line Start register to Software.
4. Set the value of the Exposure Mode register to Timed.
5. Set the value of the Exposure Time Raw parameter as desired.
A value in a raw register is simply an integer value with no units. To determine what the actual
setting will be, you must multiply the value in the raw register by the camera’s time base. The
time base on racer cameras is 100 ns.
For example, if you set the Exposure Time Raw register to 1000, the exposure time would be
100 µs (1000 x 100 ns = 100 µs).
6. Set the value of the Trigger Software Line Start register to 1.
Setting the value of this register to 1 applies a software line start trigger to the camera. The
register resets to 0 when execution is complete.
Read the value of the Status Line Trigger Wait register.
A value of 0 indicates that the camera is not ready to receive a line start trigger.
A value of 1 indicates that the camera is ready to receive a line start trigger.
