9.4.1 Acquisition Start Trigger Mode (Standard Mode)
The main parameter associated with the acquisition start trigger is the Trigger Mode parameter. The
Trigger Mode parameter for the acquisition start trigger has two available settings: off and on.
9.4.1.1 Acquisition Start Trigger Mode = Off
When the Trigger Mode parameter for the acquisition start trigger is set to off, the camera will
generate all required acquisition start trigger signals internally, and you do not need to apply
acquisition start trigger signals to the camera.
9.4.1.2 Acquisition Start Trigger Mode = On
When the Trigger Mode parameter for the acquisition start trigger is set to on, the camera will initially
be in a "waiting for acquisition start trigger" acquisition status and cannot react to frame start trigger
signals. You must apply an acquisition start trigger signal to the camera to exit the camera from the
"waiting for acquisition start trigger" acquisition status and enter the "waiting for frame start trigger"
acquisition status. The camera can then react to frame start trigger signals and will continue to do
so until the number of frame start trigger signals it has received is equal to the current Acquisition
Frame Count parameter setting. The camera will then return to the "waiting for acquisition start
trigger" acquisition status. In order to acquire more frames, you must apply a new acquisition start
trigger signal to the camera to exit it from the "waiting for acquisition start trigger" acquisition status.
When the Trigger Mode parameter for the acquisition start trigger is set to on, you must select a
source signal to serve as the acquisition start trigger. The Trigger Source parameter specifies the
source signal. The available selections for the Trigger Source parameter are:
Software - When the source signal is set to software, you apply an acquisition start trigger
signal to the camera by executing an Trigger Software command for the acquisition start
trigger on the host PC.
Line 1 - When the source signal is set to line 1, you apply an acquisition start trigger signal to
the camera by injecting an externally generated electrical signal (commonly referred to as a
hardware trigger signal) into physical input line 1 on the camera.
If the Trigger Source parameter for the acquisition start trigger is set to Line 1, you must also set
the Trigger Activation parameter. The available settings for the Trigger Activation parameter are:
Rising Edge - specifies that a rising edge of the electrical signal will act as the acquisition start
trigger.
Falling Edge - specifies that a falling edge of the electrical signal will act as the acquisition start
trigger.
