Fig. 55: Trigger Width Exposure Mode with Overlapped Exposure
You can set the exposure time parameter value and select an exposure mode from within your
application software by using the pylon API. The following code snippets illustrate using the API to
set the exposure time parameter and select the exposure mode:
// set for the timed exposure mode, set exposure time to 3000 µs
Camera.ExposureMode.SetValue( ExposureMode_Timed );
Camera.ExposureTimeAbs.SetValue( 3000 );
// set for the width exposure mode, set minimum exposure time to 3000 µs
Camera.ExposureMode.SetValue( ExposureMode_TriggerWidth );
Camera.ExposureTimeAbs.SetValue( 3000 );
For detailed information about using the pylon API, refer to the Basler pylon Programmer’s Guide
and API Reference.
You can also use the Basler pylon Viewer application to easily set the parameters.
9.6.3.3 Acquisition Start Trigger Delay
The trigger delay feature lets you specify a delay (in microseconds) that will be applied between the
receipt of a hardware acquisition start trigger and when the trigger will become effective.
For more information about the trigger delay feature and how to set it, see Section 12.13 on
page 306 .
The trigger delay will not operate if the Trigger Mode parameter for acquisition
start is set to off or if you are using a software acquisition start trigger.
