Enabling and Using Real-Time
Triggering
To enable real-time triggering, use the
Digital I/O
tab in the
Input/Output
parameters group (see Section 3.9 on
page 59
) to properly configure one of the I/O ports. The port
should be configured with the
Direction
parameter set as an
"Input" and the
Function
parameter set as "Real-time
Trigger" as shown to the right.
If the invert function for the port is not enabled (i.e., the
Invert
check box is not checked), an image capture will be
triggered whenever the electrical signal applied to the port
causes the port to transition from the inactive to the active
condition.
If the invert function for the port is enabled (i.e., the
Invert
check box is checked), an image capture will be triggered
whenever the electrical signal applied to the port causes the
port to transition from the active to the inactive condition.
Note that you can configure more than one port to act as an input with the function set to real-time
trigger. In this situation, an image capture will be triggered anytime the proper electrical signal is
applied to one of the ports.
If the
Source Enable
check box on the
Digital In
tab in the
Alarm Sources
section of the
Alarm Handling
parameters
(see Section 3.6 on
page 44
) is checked as shown to the
right, the camera will declare an alarm condition whenever a
real-time trigger signal is applied to the camera.
If you have set the parameters on the
tab in the
Alarm
Actions
section of the
Alarm Handling
parameters so that
the camera will send an email with an included image when
an alarm condition is declared (as shown to the right), the
image included with the email will be the one that was
captured when the real-time trigger signal caused the alarm
condition.
Note that if you have set the parameters on the
FTP
tab so
that a file and an image will be sent to an FTP server when
an alarm condition is declared, or if you have set the
parameters on the
SD Card
tab so that a file and an image
will be stored on the SD card when an alarm condition is
declared, the image sent will be the one that was captured
when the real-time trigger signal caused the alarm condition.
