Beside the internal exposure control capabilities also direct exposure control
by an externally applied signal is possible. In this case the ExposureMode has
to be configured to
Off
to deactivate the internal timer.
Mode setting
The GigE Vision feature AcquisitionControl/TriggerMode setting provides a
method for switching the camera between different exposure control modes.
The individual function depends on the camera variant.
The
Mode input (Pin 9)
can be used to control this setting using an external sig-
nal.
Note
Bigeye P-629
: The timer has to be enabled via the
ExposureMode feature in order to control the exposure. Set the
TriggerMode feature to
On
if the electromechanical shutter
operation is needed, otherwise it will stay permanently open.
Note
For more information see Chapter
Mode input (Pin 9)
on page
32.
Note
The active state (externally
low
at pin 9 or TriggerMode =
On
) is
dominant, thus image-on-demand is active if one of either set-
tings is.
