12.13 Trigger Delay
The trigger delay feature lets you specify a delay (in microseconds) that will be applied between the
receipt of a hardware trigger and it becoming effective.
The trigger delay can be specified in the range from 0 to 10000000 µs (equivalent to 10 s). When
the delay is set to 0 µs, no delay will be applied.
Note the different applicability of the trigger delay depending on the image acquisition control mode:

Standard mode:

The trigger delay can be applied to the acquisition start trigger.

The trigger delay can be applied to the frame start trigger.

Legacy mode:

The trigger delay can be applied to the acquisition start trigger.
Setting the Trigger Delay
You can set the Trigger Delay Abs parameter value from within your application software by using
the pylon API. The following code snippets illustrate using the API to set the parameter values:
Standard mode:
// Select the acquisition start trigger
Camera.TriggerSelector.SetValue( TriggerSelector_Acquisition Start );
// Trigger delay
double TriggerDelay_us = 1000.0 // 1000us == 1ms == 0.001s;
Camera.TriggerDelayAbs.SetValue( TriggerDelay_us );
// Select the frame start trigger
The trigger delay will not operate if the Acquisition Start Trigger Mode
parameter is set to off (the camera will generate all acquisition start trigger
signals internally) or if you are using a software acquisition start trigger.
The trigger delay will not operate if the Frame Start Trigger Mode parameter is
set to off (the camera will generate all frame start trigger signals internally) or
if you are using a software frame start trigger.
The trigger delay will not operate if the Acquisition Start Trigger Mode
parameter is set to off (the camera will generate all acquisitiion start trigger
signals internally) or if you are using a software acquisition start trigger.
