  TRIGGER OUTPUT 

9-8

The camera provides a range of trigger output signals to synchronize with an external instrument 

and the camera becomes the master and the external instrument becomes the slave. There are 

three different trigger output functions as follows. 

 

-  Global exposure timing output 

-  Programmable timing output 

-  Trigger ready output   

 

Also, it can output continuous High output (High output fixed) or continuous Low output (Low 

output fixed). 

These trigger output functions can be selected by software command, and they are output from 

Timing out connector. And the polarity can be changed by software command. 

 

9-8-1  GLOBAL EXPOSURE TIMING OUTPUT 

Global exposure timing output shows the period of all pixels exposing.   

 

 

• 

For more detail, please refer to the timing charts of Figure 9-1 to 9-8.   

 

9-8-2  PROGRAMMABLE TIMING OUTPUT 

By using the programmable timing output, synchronizing external devices is simple. A system 

that needs simple timing signal does not require a delay unit nor pulse generator. It is possible to 

program and output a pulse that has an optional pulse width and an optional delay time to the 

exposure start timing of the camera by command. 

The setting range for delay time is 0 µs to 10 s, the setting range for pulse width is 1 µs to 10 s, and 

the minimum setting step is respectably 1 µs.
