The cameras can be operated free running or triggerd.
free running operation:
Depending on the selected image repeat rate and exposure time, the
cameras continuously deliver an image data stream just like a standard
camera. The signal behavior at the external trigger entry is
insignificant. The exposure time can be adjusted via software from
100 µs up to 30 s.
triggered operation:
As long as there is no flank change from Low to High, the camera will
not deliver image data.
The exposure of the sensor will start 4.8 µs after the Low-High
change-over at the external trigger entry.
In this mode, an image repeat rate of up to 15 fps is possible. The
exposure time can be adjusted via software from 100 µs up to 30 s.
If a repeated trigger impulse is triggered during an exposure
(transmission), undefined conditions may happen during the picture
recording.
To test the trigger functions, please use the PHYTEC demo program
(
section 2.5
).
