5.5 Camera Triggering
5.5.1 Triggering Inputs
In the normal mode of operation, the camera is free running, which means the camera
continually reads out the sensor. If using a trigger to initiate readout, trigger mode
enables synchronizing the camera to a timing pulse.
The camera offers three input modes for external triggering: external, internal (pulse
generator), and software. You must map the trigger input to a corresponding camera
input (5.10.1 Input / Output Mapping).
•
External
–
the camera receives the trigger signal coming from the connector
located on the back of the camera.
•
Internal
–
the camera has a built-in programmable pulse generator (refer to
Pulse Generator section). In Internal triggering mode, the camera receives the
trigger signal from the internal pulse generator.
