View Image Trigger
Mode Selection
The CSS provides four methods of triggering the SLS to
acquire an image for the View Image display: Automatic,
Keyboard, External, and Keyboard/external. The following
section describes these triggering methods.
Automatic Trigger
When you select Automatic Trigger, the CSS forces the
SLS “offline” and assumes triggering control of the SLS.
This causes the SLS to suspend operations using the trigger
input mode designated in its configuration (that is, an
external trigger signal or its own internal trigger signal) and
rely exclusively on the CSS for triggering commands.
When the CSS issues a trigger command to the SLS, the
SLS acquires an image and sends it to the PC. The CSS
displays the image, and when it is ready for another image,
it sends another trigger command to the SLS. The software
updates the display with each new image that it acquires.
This process continues as long as the Automatic Trigger
mode is in effect; that is, until you press the ESC key.
Note: The rate at which the CSS updates the display
depends on the speed of your PC and graphics adapter, and
whether or not a math coprocessor is installed. The display
update frequency does not correspond to the maximum rate
at which the SLS can operate “online” using its internal
‘Not available in Main Menu View Image option.
