Figure 49: CamExpert: Camera Trigger Method 1 Timing
The desired Sapera control method now must be enabled. This parameter is required because a
frame grabber board and camera may support different acquisition or exposure methods. When
multiple methods are supported and setup, only one can be the controlling method at any one time. In
this example, with two control methods having been defined, the
Enable Control Method
drop menu
selects which control method to activate.
Figure 50: CamExpert: Advanced Control Parameters
With the camera control method defined and enabled, the last configuration item is to define the
external trigger signal to the frame grabber. The CamExpert External Trigger Parameters tab, shown in
the following screen image, has external trigger enabled, with detection set to falling edge, and a
trigger minimum duration as 0
s (edge detection—not level detection). The last parameter defines the
number of sequential video frames captured on a single external trigger event.
