Implementing Trigger-to-
Image Reliability
Overview
In a complex imaging system, a lot can go wrong at all points – from initial acquisition, to camera
processing, to data transmission. Teledyne DALSA provides features, events, and I/O signals that
provide the system designer with the tools to qualify the system in real time.
The Teledyne DALSA website provides general information, FAQ, and White Paper downloads about
the Trigger-to-Image Reliability (T2IR) framework in hardware and Sapera LT software SDK.
