4.6.2. TriggerInput
Trigger signals are used to synchronize the camera exposure and a machine cycle or, in
case of a software trigger, to take images at predened time intervals�
Each trigger source has to be activated separately. When the trigger mode is activated,
the hardware trigger is activated by default.

mode:

B - Exposure time
(global shutter)
B*- Exposure time
(rolling shutter)
C - Readout time
TriggerDelay:
The trigger delay is a
exible user-dened delay
between the given trigger
impulse and the image cap-
ture. The delay time can
be set between 0.0 μsec
and 2.0 sec with a stepsize
of 1 μsec. In the case of
multiple triggers during the
delay the triggers will be
stored and delayed, too.
The buffer is able to store
up to 512 trigger
signals during the delay.
