External Trigger Timing Specifications
t(et) time of external trigger in µs
t(oc) time opto-coupler takes to change state (time varies dependent on input voltage)
t(d) user set debounce duration from 1 to 255µs
t(vt) time of validated trigger in µs
Note: Teledyne DALSA recommends using the fastest transition to minimize the time it takes for
the opto-coupler to change state.
If the duration of the external trigger is > t(oc) + t(d), then a valid acquisition trigger is detected.
It is possible to emulate an external trigger using the software trigger which is generated by a
function call from an application.
The following table provides the input switching points and propagation delay details.
