camera is “armed” when the read out of the acquired frame is completed
. No additional rising
edges, or triggers, should be allowed during the image acquisition or frame read out
.
When the camera is in External Trigger Mode, the Frame LED will be illuminated on the camera
back to indicate the camera is expecting a signal on the SMA connector or serial bit [0] of register
1.
Because this signal is internally OR’ed with the Serial Trigger input, care must be taken to ensure
the serial bit [0] of register 1 is equal to a logic 0 while in SMA Trigger mode.
Programmed Integration/Serial Trigger
For external serial controlled triggering with a programmed integration time, a TTL rising edge on
bit [0] of serial register 1 triggers the camera to acquire one frame of data. Integration begins
within 200ns after the rising edge and stops when the programmed integration time has completed.
After that single frame acquisition, the camera outputs the just acquired frame and “re-arms”, thus
waiting for a new External Trigger signal to trigger a new frame acquisition. The camera is
“armed” when the read out of the acquired frame is completed
. No additional rising edges, or
triggers, should be allowed during the image acquisition or frame read out
.
When the camera is in External Trigger Mode, the Frame LED will be illuminated on the camera
back to indicate the camera is expecting a signal on the SMA connector or serial bit [0] of register
1.
Because this signal is internally OR’ed with the TRIGGER IN Sync input, care must be taken to
ensure the TRIGGER IN signal is equal to a logic 0 while in Serial Trigger mode.
External Integration/SMA Trigger
When in External Integrate/SMA mode, a TTL rising edge on the
TRIGGER IN
(or SYNC)
signal triggers the camera to acquire one frame of data. Integration begins within 200 ns after the
rising edge and stops within 550 ns after the falling edge. After that single frame acquisition, the
camera outputs the just acquired frame and “re-arms”, thus waiting for a new External Trigger
signal to trigger a new frame acquisition. The camera is “armed” when the read out of the
acquired frame is completed
. No additional rising edges, or triggers, should be allowed during the
image acquisition or frame read out
. This means in this mode TRIGGER IN necessarily controls
both integration and frame rate.
When the camera is in External Trigger Mode, the Frame LED will be illuminated on the camera
back to indicate the camera is expecting a signal on the SMA connector or serial bit [0] of register
1.
Because this signal is internally OR’ed with the Serial Trigger input, care must be taken to ensure
the serial bit [0] of register 1 is equal to a logic 0 while in SMA Trigger mode.
External Integration/Serial Trigger
When in External Integration/Serial mode, a TTL rising edge on serial bit [0] of register 1 triggers
the camera to acquire one frame of data. Due to variation in the host operating system, this mode is
generally used only for camera setup and functional testing. Integration begins within 200 ns after
the rising edge and stops within 550 ns after the falling edge. After that single frame acquisition,
the camera outputs the just acquired frame and “re-arms”, thus waiting for a new External Trigger
signal to trigger a new frame acquisition. The camera is “armed” when the read out of the
acquired frame is completed
. No additional rising edges, or triggers, should be allowed during the
image acquisition or frame read out
.
This means in this mode TRIGGER IN necessarily controls both integration and frame rate.
