3 Using the Image Acquisition Tool GUI
3-20
Use the Triggering tab to set up triggering options.
The total number of frames that will be acquired when you start an acquisition depends
on what is set in the Frames Per Trigger field on the General tab and the Number of
Triggers field on the Triggering tab. For example, if you set Frames Per Trigger to 4
and Number of Triggers to 2, the total number of frames in the acquisition will be 8.
Selecting the Number of Triggers
If you want to do an acquisition that is comprised of a finite number of frames, set the
Number of Triggers to any number, or use the default of 1 trigger.
If you want to control the start and stop of the acquisition, regardless of the number
of frames acquired, select infinite. With an infinite number of triggers, you stop the
acquisition manually by clicking the Stop Acquisition button in the Preview window.
Selecting the Trigger Type
The default of Immediate means that when you start an acquisition using the Start
Acquisition button, the acquisition begins immediately.
If you change the setting to Manual, the Trigger button is activated in the Preview
window, and you use it to start the acquisition.
