Strobe and Synchronization Controls
The camera allows you to synchronize your system from several references. You can synchronize
with the trigger input, the start, middle or end of exposure, or the internal pulse generator
signals.
Output Signal
Description
ExposureStart
A 10-microsecond pulse indicating the beginning of the exposure
ExposureEnd
A 10-microsecond pulse indicating the end of the exposure
MidExposure
A 10-microsecond indicating the middle of the exposure
ExposureActive
The output signal is active for the duration of exposure time
TriggerActual
Maps the input trigger pulse to the output with no delay
TriggerDelayed
Maps the input trigger pulse to the output with trigger delay
PulseGenerator
Maps the internal pulse generator waveform to the output
Strobe1
Maps the Strobe 1 signal to the corresponding external output
Strobe2
Maps the Strobe 2 signal to the corresponding external output
The camera provides signals indicating the start of exposure, mid-exposure, and end of exposure.
These signals have a fixed duration of 10 microseconds. If a longer pulse period is required, the
strobe feature can be used.
The camera provides two strobes for synchronization with an external light source, other
cameras, or peripheral devices. You can position each strobe pulse within the entire frame-
timing period with a precision of 1.0 microsecond.
You can position a strobe pulse with the following references, depending on the camera mode:
Camera Mode
Strobe Reference
Free-running mode
Start of Exposure, Start of Readout
Trigger mode
(Standard and Fast)
Start of Exposure, Start of Readout, Trigger
