While the focus line is asserted, most cameras will not respond to communication via USB or physical
button presses on the camera. Therefore, it is critical that the focus line is de-asserted using "F0"
before attempting to download images or change settings. Some camera models require that the focus
line is de-activated between each shot when using mirror-lockup or bulb mode.
TriggerBox command modes
The TriggerBox has two command modes, Simple Mode and Sequence Mode.
Simple Mode
Simple mode allows the user to enable individual focus and shutter outputs and upon receipt of an "S"
command will release the enabled outputs.
Example Simple Mode six camera command string:
<set-up>
m0 (set box to Simple Mode)
s111111 (enable all shutter outputs)
f111111 (enable all focus outputs)
<each shot>
F1 (focus camera)
<wait camera response time value> (allow camera to respond to half button press)
S (release shutter)
F0 (release focus)
Sequence Mode
Sequence mode allows the user to specify up to eight stages. Each stage allows every output's shutter
and focus line to be enabled as well as an assignable output delay. The default sequencer setting only
has one sequence stage. The first stage is labelled zero. Up to seven subsequent stages can be added
using the command "P".
A shutter release command will cause the sequencer to advance to the next stage.
A select stage command "jx" allows the sequencer to be started from stage x.
Example Sequence Mode command string:
<set-up>
m2 (set box to Sequencer Mode)
