9.6 The Acquisition Start Trigger in
Legacy Mode
For more information about standard mode and legacy mode and how to set them, see Section 9.1
on page 103.
The acquistion start trigger is used to begin frame acquisition. Assuming that the camera is in a
"waiting for acquistion start trigger" acquisition status, it will begin a frame acquisition each time it
receives an acquistion start trigger signal.
Note that in order for the camera to be in a "waiting for acquistion start trigger" acquisition status:
The Acquisition Mode parameter must be set correctly.
A proper Acquisition Start command must be applied to the camera.
For more information about the Acquisition Mode parameter and about Acquisition Start and
Acquisition Stop commands, see Section 9.2 on page 105 and Section 9.3 on page 109.
Referring to the use case diagrams that appear in Section 9.8 on page 144 can help you
understand the explanations of the acquistion start trigger. Remember, however, that the diagrams
apply to the standard mode. Accordingly, the acquisition start trigger shown in the diagrams is not
available in legacy mode and the frame start trigger shown is equivalent to the acquisition start
trigger in legacy mode.
This section only applies if the legacy mode is enabled for image acquisition
control.
Use the legacy mode only if you want to operate the camera together with
previous cameras not featuring the standard mode. Otherwise, we most strongly
recommend enabling the standard mode.
When the camera is started for the first time after delivery from the factory the
image acquisition control will be in legacy mode.
The acquisition start trigger of the legacy mode is called "frame start trigger" in the
standard mode.
The acquisition start trigger of the standard mode is not available in the legacy
mode.
