4.2.5.9 Trigger or Abort Recording
Triggering a camera can be accomplished either by applying a "soft" trigger or "hard" trigger to the
camera. Upon detection of the Trigger signal the camera will stop recording images into the cameras
DRAM immediately, unless otherwise configured to capture a user specified number of Post Trigger
frames.
This procedure describes how to provide a "soft-trigger" to the camera using the Phantom Camera
Control application.
STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS
1.
Click the Live Control Panel Tab.
2.
Click on the Trigger button.
RESULT: The selected Phantom camera stops recording image data into the cameras' memory once
the user specified Post Trigger value has been satisfied. The Rec indicator, located in the Status Bar
of the Preview Panel, becomes inactive, gray, upon completion of the capture process.
NOTE
The Trigger button will only be active if the camera is in the Waiting for trigger state.
3.
Click Abort Recording if you want to cancel recording.
