Bulk trigger (Trigger_Mode_15)
Trigger_Mode_15 is a bulk trigger, combining one external trigger event with
continuous or one-shot or multi-shot internal trigger.
It is an extension of the IIDC trigger modes. One external trigger event can
be used to trigger a multitude of internal image intakes.
This is especially useful for:
•
Grabbing exactly one image based on the first external trigger.
•
Filling the camera's internal image buffer with one external trigger with-
out overriding images.
•
Grabbing an unlimited number of images after one external trigger (sur-
veillance)
The figure below illustrates this mode.
