Software Trigger The trigger signal is applied through a software command ( TriggerSoftware
in category
AcquisitionControl
). Settings for Software Trigger mode:
TriggerMode
= On
and
TriggerSource
= Software.
Line1 Trigger The trigger signal is applied directly to the camera by the power supply
connector through pin ISO_IN1 (see also Section A.1). A setup of this mode is shown in
Fig. 5.14 and Fig. 5.15. The electrical interface of the trigger input and the strobe output
is described in Section 6.5. Settings for Line1 Trigger mode:
TriggerMode
= On and
TriggerSource
= Line1.
PLC_Q4 Trigger The trigger signal is applied by the Q4 output of the PLC (see also Section 6.6).
Settings for PLC_Q4 Trigger mode:
TriggerMode
= On and
TriggerSource
= PLC_Q4.
ABTrigger Trigger from incremental encoder (see Section 5.2.9). The A/B Trigger feature is not
available on all camera revisions, see Appendix B for a list of available features.
Some trigger signals are inverted. A schematic drawing is shown in Fig. 7.4.

5.2.3 Trigger and AcquisitionMode

TriggerMode =Off, then the frame rate depends on the AcquisitionFrameRateEnable property (see
also under Free running in Section 5.2.2).
