Camera Operation

•

Exposure Time

To set the camera’s exposure time, use the

Exposure Time

feature found in the

Sensor

Control

set. This feature is used to set the exposure time in µs. This feature is only

available when the

Timed Exposure Mode

. The allowable range is from 3 µs to 3300 µs.

GigE Vision Input Controls

Sensor Control

Parameter

Description

Exposure Mode

This feature is used to set the operation mode of the Exposure (or

shutter):

Timed

, Trigger Width, Off (maximum, according to line

rate).

Exposure Time

This feature is used to set the Exposure time (in microseconds)

when Exposure Mode is set to Timed. min 3, max 3300 us.

Triggers

GigE Vision Input Controls

Frame Trigger Function Group

The Frame Trigger Control section describes all features related to frame acquisition using

trigger(s). One or many Trigger(s) can be used to control the start of an Acquisition, of a

Frame. It can also be used to control the exposure duration at the beginning of a frame.

Parameter

Description

Trigger Overlap

Specify the type of trigger overlap permitted with the

previous frame. This defines when a valid trigger will be

accepted (or latched) for a new frame

Frame Trigger Delayer

Specifies the delay in microseconds (

s) to apply after the

trigger reception before activating it

The delay of the selected trigger in 1 µs increments.

Frame Trigger Source

The line that triggers a frame trigger when Frame Start

Trigger Mode is On.

Frame Trigger Software

Toggle

Trigger Software is a command that can be used by an

application to generate an internal trigger when Trigger

Source is set to Software. To generate a trigger, choose

false first then choose true.

Active Mode

Frame Active Trigger

Activation

Specifies what type of signal(i.e. high, or low) causes a

variable length frame trigger.

Frame Active Trigger Mode

Specifies whether the external variable length frame

trigger is on or off. This trigger takes precedence over the

FrameStartTrigger.

Frame Active Delay

Enable the delayer.
