Trigger Mode = Off
When the
Trigger Mode
parameter is set to
Off
, the camera will generate all required exposure
start trigger signals internally, and you do not need to apply exposure start trigger signals to
the camera.
If the
Trigger Mode
parameter is set to
Off
, the camera will automatically begin generating
exposure start trigger signals when it receives an
Acquisition Start
command. The camera will
continue to generate exposure start trigger signals until it receives an
Acquisition Stop
command.
Free-Run
When you set the Trigger Mode parameter to Off, the camera will generate all required
trigger signals internally. When the camera is set this way, it will constantly acquire images
without any need for triggering by the user. This use case commonly referred as “free run”.
The rate at which the exposure start trigger signals are generated may be determined by the
camera’s
Acquisition Frame Rate
parameter.
If the parameter is set to a value less than the maximum allowed frame rate with the current camera
settings, the camera will generate exposure start trigger signals at the rate specified by the
parameter setting.
If the parameter is set to a value greater than the maximum allowed frame rate with the current
camera settings, the camera will generate exposure start trigger signals at the maximum allowed
frame rate.
Exposure Time Control with Trigger Mode = Off
When the
Trigger Mode
parameter is set to
Off
, the exposure time for each frame acquisition is
determined by the value of the camera’s
Exposure Time
parameter. For more information about
the Exposure Time parameter, see
