The “Trigger Mode” folder
“Free running”, Mode 0
At the first installation it should be mode 0 (factory default). This means the camera is free
running with maximum frame rate and exposure time is controlled by the internal micro
controller. Exposure time can be set via serial communication (ConvCam.exe, see “Main
Features). No further external signals.
“Opto Triggered”, external exposure control, Mode 1
If you want to trigger the camera and determine the exposure time by the pulse width of Exsync,
choose this mode. Then apply a Exsync signal at the appropriate pins e.g. on pins of TB 5
connector. The rising edge of the pulse the camera will start exposure time. The exposure time
ends with the falling edge of Exsync.
Please check the timing diagram in the appendix of this manual.
“Opto Triggered”, internal exposure control, Mode 1
If you want to trigger the camera and determine the exposure time by the internal micro
controller choose this mode. You still need to use the Exsync signal (min 5 V TTL) in order to
trigger the camera (see “Trigger”-buttons below). It will initiate exposure by the rising edge of
the pulse. Apply a Exsync signal at the appropriate pins e.g. on pins of TB 5 connector Please
check the timing diagram in the appendix of this manual.
“LVDS Triggered”, external exposure control, Mode 2
If you want to trigger the camera via framegrabber and use pulswidth control controller then use
this mode. Exposure time is set via CameraLink through you framegrabber. (Contact your
framegrabber supplier for how to feed signal into the grabber). The framegrabber generates the
pulse width of the exposure time. With the rising edge of the pulse the camera will start
exposure time. The exposure time ends with the falling edge of Exsync.
“LVDS Triggered”, internal exposure control, Mode 2
If you want to trigger the camera trigger the camera via framegrabber and use the convenient
exposure time control of the micro controller then use this mode. You still can use the serial port
for setting exposure time (see “Main features”-folder).
