InitialTriggerTime
Record absolute time of first trigger
Description
The InitialTriggerTime property records the absolute time of the first trigger. The
absolute time is recorded as a MATLAB clock vector.
For all trigger types, InitialTriggerTime records the time when the Logging
property is set to 'on'.
To find the time when a subsequent trigger executed, view the Data.AbsTime field of
the EventLog property for the particular trigger.
Characteristics
Access Read only
Data type Six-element vector of doubles (MATLAB clock vector)
Values The default value is [].
Examples
Create an image acquisition object, vid, for a USB-based webcam.
vid = videoinput('winvideo',1);
Start the object. Because the TriggerType property is set to 'immediate' by default,
the trigger executes immediately. The object records the time of the initial trigger.
start(vid)
abstime = vid.InitialTriggerTime
