Operation with the IDS NXT cockpit: IDS NXT

6.1.3.2 Trigger type "Software"

Fig. 7: Trigger type "Software"

In the "Software" mode, image capture is triggered by a software command. The software command is

signaled for example by an external client PC or a vision app. How to activate a software trigger via the REST

interface is described in the manual "IDS NXT: REST interface".

In this trigger mode, the live image only shows an image if a trigger has been activated. In the live image, you

can see the capture date of the last image in the lower right corner.

With the button, you can activate a software trigger manually in IDS NXT cockpit.

Note on sensors with rolling shutter

Depending on the sensor, changes on the capturing parameters, e. g. exposure time, have

an effect on the image after the next image.

6.1.3.3 Trigger type "Hardware"

In the "Hardware" mode, image acquisition is activated via an external trigger signal.
