6.1.3. Continuous operation or triggered operation
The camera can operate in continuous operation applications not requiring asynchronous
external trigger. The camera will operate at its maximum frame rate, 120.491
frames/seconds in this mode.
For applications that require an external trigger, the camera can accept an external trigger
input via the Camera Link interface. The camera can operate with up to 120 frames/second in
triggered operation as well.
6.1.4. Rear panel indicator
The rear panel mounted LED provides
the following information:
 Amber:
Power connected - initiating
 Steady green:
Camera is operating in Continuous mode
 Flashing green:
The camera is receiving external trigger

6.1.5. Auto-detect LVAL-sync / async. accumulation
This function replaces the manual setting found in older JAI cameras. Whether accumulation
is synchronous or a-synchronous in relationship to LVAL depends on the timing of the trigger
input.
When trigger is received while FVAL is high (during readout), the camera works in LVAL
synchronous mode, preventing reset feed trough in the video signal. There is a maximum
jitter of one LVAL period from issuing a trigger and accumulation start.
If trigger is received when FVAL is low, the cameras works in LVAL-asynchronous mode (no
delay) mode.
This applies to both pre-select (PS) trigger mode and pulse width trigger (PW) modes.

(1) In this period camera executes trigger at next LVAL (prevents feed-through noise)
(2) Avoid trigger at FVAL transition (+/- 1 LVAL period), as the function may randomly switch
between "next LVAL" and "immediate".
(3) In this period camera executes trigger immediately (no delay)
