4.4.6 Software Trigger
The software trigger enables to emulate an external trigger pulse by the camera software
through the serial data interface. It works with both burst mode enabled and disabled. As
soon as it is performed via the camera software, it will start the image acquisition(s),
depending on the usage of the burst mode and the burst configuration. The trigger mode
must be set to
Interface Trigger or I/O Trigger .
4.4.7 Strobe Output
The strobe output is an opto-isolated output located on the power supply connector that can
be used to trigger a strobe. The strobe output can be used both in free-running and in trigger
mode. There is a programmable delay available to adjust the strobe pulse to your application.
The strobe output needs a separate power supply. Please see Section Section
5.1.3 and Figure Fig. 4.32 and Fig. 4.33 for more information.
