Controlling image capture
The screenshots below illustrate the use of Trigger_Mode_15 on a register level:
•
Line #1switches continuous mode off, leaving viewer in listen mode.
•
Line #2 prepares 830h register for external trigger and Mode_15.
Trigger delay
As already mentioned earlier the cameras feature various ways to delay image
capture based on external trigger.
With IIDC V1.31 there is a standard CSR at Register F0F00534/834h to control a
delay up to FFFh x time base value.
The following table explains the Inquiry register and the meaning of the various
bits.
Left = continuous
Middle = one-shot
Right = multi-shot
Line #3 switches camera back to
continuous
mode. Only one
image is grabbed precisely with
the first external trigger.

Line #3 toggles
one-shot
bit [0]
of the one-shot register 61C so

ger.
To repeat rewrite line three.
Line #3 toggles
multi-shot
bit [1]
of the one-shot register 61C so

trigger.
