AW00089316000 Image Acquisition Control
Basler ace GigE 81
you do not attempt to trigger frames at a rate that is greater than the maximum allowed. (There is
a detailed explanation about the maximum allowed frame rate at the end of this chapter.) Frame
start trigger signals applied to the camera when it is not in a "waiting for frame start trigger"
acquisition status will be ignored.
Applying Trigger Signals
The paragraphs above mention "applying a trigger signal". There are two ways to apply an
acquisition start or a frame start trigger signal to the camera: via software or via hardware.
To apply trigger signals via software, you must first select the acquisition start or the frame start
trigger and then indicate that software will be used as the source for the selected trigger signal. At
that point, each time a Trigger Software command is executed, the selected trigger signal will be
applied to the camera.
To apply trigger signals via hardware, you must first select the acquisition start or the frame start
trigger and indicate that input line 1 will be used as the source for the selected trigger signal. At that
point, each time a proper electrical signal is applied to input line 1, an occurance of the selected
trigger signal will be recognized by the camera.
= a frame start trigger signal that will be ignored because the camera
is not in a "waiting for frame start trigger" status
= camera is waiting for an acquisition start trigger signal
= camera is waiting for a frame start trigger signal
= frame exposure and readout
Acquisition Frame Count parameter setting = 3
= frame transmission
