9.11.2 Acquisition Status Indicator
When controlling image acquisition with a software trigger you can use the acquisition status feature
to determine when the camera is ready to be triggered for an image acquisition.
For more information about the acquisition status feature, see Section 12.14 on page 308 .
9.11.3 Trigger Ready Signal
(All Models Except scA750-60)
As described in the previous section, the cameras can operate in an “overlapped” acquisition
fashion. When the camera is operated in this manner, it is especially important that:

the exposure time of a new image acquisition not start until exposure of the previously
acquired image is complete, and

the exposure time of a new image acquisition not end until readout of the previously acquired
image is complete.
The camera supplies a “Trigger Ready” (TrigRdy) output signal you can use to ensure that these
conditions are met when you are using a hardware trigger signal to trigger image acquisition. The
trigger ready signal relates to different trigger signals, depending on the image acquisition control
mode:

In standard mode, the trigger ready signal relates to the frame start trigger signal

In legacy mode, the trigger ready signal relates to the acquisition start trigger signal.
When you are acquiring images, the camera automatically calculates the earliest moment that it is
safe to trigger each new acquisition. The trigger ready signal will go high when it is safe to trigger
an acquisition, will go low when the acquisition has started, and will go high again when it is safe to
