In Trigger mode of See3CAM_CU51, the preview will not be available and the camera will be kept
in standby waiting for a trigger pulse to start the integration of pixels and provide a global shutter
image.
The user can configure the camera settings such as focus, exposure, still image resolution, still
image storage location etc., in Manual mode and then enter the Trigger mode. In the Trigger
mode, the camera settings will be retained, but preview will not be available. The camera shall be
waiting for an external event on the GPIO connector and the camera will start exposing on the
trigger signal. The external trigger pulse on the GPIO connector must have a pulse duration equal
to that of the required exposure, so the camera will expose for this duration and immediately
readout the image.
In Trigger mode, only external Trigger event is supported and no software still image capture is
possible.
All the images taken will be stored in the default location i.e. the desktop or can be stored in any
user specified path, in the
.RAW
format.
