Trigger timing diagram
The following diagram explains the general trigger concept.
FrameTrigger
Active when an image has been initiated to start. This is a logic trigger
internal to the camera, which is initiated by an external trigger or software
trigger event.
Exposing
Active for the duration of sensor exposure.
FrameReadout
Active during frame readout, i.e., the transferring of image data from the
CCD to the camera memory.
Imaging
Imaging is high when the camera image sensor is either exposing and/or
reading out data.
Acquiring
Active during an acquisition stream.
SyncIn1
Active when there is an external trigger at SyncIn1.
Strobe1
The output signal is controlled according to Strobe1 settings.
