TriggerControl 

This section describes trigger control of AcquisitionControl category for the GigEPRO cameras. 
This camera series provides two kinds of exposure synchronization. 

-

 

Normal Shutter mode           : Free run operation (internal synchronization) 

-

 

Random Trigger Shutter mode  : Synchronized with external trigger input 

 
In Random Trigger Shutter mode, two kinds of trigger input are available. 

-

 

Trigger signal via the I/O connector (HardwareTrigger) 

-

 

Trigger command via the Gigabit Ethernet interface (SoftwareTrigger) 

 
The following table shows the combination of operation mode of this camera series.

* The camera operation not mentioned above is not guaranteed. 

 
Operation point of HardwareTrigger is at the edge of trigger signal, and active edge polarity is able to 
change by register setting. And you can add delay time from trigger edge to exposure start by register 
setting
