Trigger

Trigger Source:

Free running:

The camera continuously delivers images with a certain configurable frame rate.

Interface Trigger:

The Trigger signal is applied to the camera by the CameraLink frame grabber

or the USB interface respectively.

I/O Trigger:

The trigger signal is applied directly to the camera on the power supply connector.

Exposure time defined by:

Camera:

The exposure time is defined by the property

ExposureTime

Trigger Pulse Width:

The exposure time is defined by the pulse width of the trigger signal

(level-controlled exposure).

This property disables LinLog, Burst trigger and simultaneous readout mode.

Exposure time defined by "Trigger Pulse Width" is also known as Level controlled
trigger.
