Special trigger
When operating in trigger mode and performing image pickup in different conditions (such as the shutter, gain, and
image pickup area), the setting has to be changed in advance for each trigger input. However, if the special trigger
operation is enabled, the setting does not have to be changed and continuous image pick up in different conditions is
facilitated. Up to 16 settings can be configured. There are the bulk operations in which images are taken consecutively
by inputting the trigger signal once and the sequential operation in which images are taken each time the trigger signal
is detected. The next exposure is started after the end of video output. In the sequential operation, the second and
subsequent trigger signals should be input 5 ms or more after the end of video output. During the special trigger
operation, the device cannot be entered to the trigger mode. The source and polarity of the special trigger signal should
be defined separately from the trigger mode. Each setting should be saved in the user set. For the items reflected, refer
to “Command List” (page 41).
Note
During special trigger operation, defect correction cannot be used.
* DC IN connector 4th pin and 7th pin are available only when the GPIO input/output setting is switched to input.
