The ‚Trigger‘ profile menuThis menu is used for setting the trigger source and framegrabbing mode.
Either an external signal applied to the trigger input of the camera (level step 0V ⇒ 24V, see chapter 'Technical specifications') or a trigger mechanism built into the camera can be selected as trigger source for framegrabbing. In the latter case, a free running or
Furthermore, the user can select the desired frame rate and the number of images to be captured (single snapshot, snapshot sequence, continuous "snapshot").
Under 'Trigger Source' the user can choose one of the following trigger sources:
∙ Off → Trigger is inactive (live image is 'frozen').
∙ External (falling edge) → The camera is triggered by an external signal applied to the trigger input of the camera. Triggering is effected by the falling edge of the signal.
∙ External (rising edge) → The camera is triggered by an external signal applied to the trigger input of the camera. Triggering is effected by the rising edge of the signal.
∙ CameraLink CC1 → The camera is triggered by an external signal sent from the CameraLink™ port (CC1, camera control 1).
∙ Register → The camera is triggered upon entering the value 1 into the camera register PARAM_TRIGGER. Alternatively, the 'Trigger now' button can be used.
∙ Auto → The camera is continuously triggered by an internal clock generator.
The 'Trigger Delay' box allows the user to enter a delay time for the trigger signal.
Under 'Trigger Mode', the user can choose the framegrabbing mode (single snapshot, snapshot sequence or continuous mode).
If the sequence mode is selected, the number of images to be captured can be entered in the 'Trigger sequence count' box.
Under 'Trigger Frequency' the user can specify a desired trigger frequency in Hz. The maximum frame rate (in Hz) that can be reached in dependence of all relevant parameters is displayed below the box .
It should be noted that the trigger port of the camera is electrically isolated (see chapter 'Technical specifications'). The maximum
trigger frequency is largely dependent on the integration time of the individual image.
