See Addendum for more detail.
DO NOT EXCEED 5.5V ON SIGNAL INPUTS.
All inputs and outputs are galvanically isolated from the internal camera circuitry.
TRIGGER INPUT
This input signal allows the camera to be synchronized to some external event. The camera can be
programmed to trigger on the rising or falling edge of this signal. The camera can also be
programmed to capture an image at some programmable delay time after the trigger event.
