Mode setting
The GigE Vision feature AcquisitionControl/TriggerMode setting provides a
method for switching the camera between different exposure control modes.
The individual function depends on the camera variant.
The Mode input (pin 9) can be used to control this setting using an external sig-
nal.
Note

For more information see Chapter Mode input (pin 9) on page
35.
Note

The active state (externally low at pin 9 or TriggerMode = On) is
dominant, thus image-on-demand is active if one of either set-
tings is.
