GigE Camera and Drivers Features V3.0.0

This document is a master document for all Allied Vision GigE camera models and is NOT camera specific

TriggerDelayAbs [Float] R/W

Start-of-image can be delayed to begin some time after a trigger event is

received by the camera. This feature is valid only when TriggerSource is

set to external trigger (i.e. Line1, Line2). This control is a common trigger

to sync with a strobe lighting source, which will inherently have some fixed

setup time.

TriggerMode [Enum] R/W

Enables or disables trigger set in TriggerSelector.

TriggerOverlap [Enum] R/W

Permitted window of trigger activation, relative to previous frame. Does not

work with Software triggering. Only external.

TriggerSelector [Enum] R/W

Selects a trigger, then use the controls {TriggerMode, TriggerSoft-

ware, TriggerSource, TriggerActivation, TriggerOverlap,

TriggerDelayAbs} to setup and read the trigger features.

TriggerSoftware [Command]

Triggers an image. Valid when TriggerSource = Software.

TriggerSource [Enum] R/W

Determines how an image frame is initiated within an acquisition stream.

Range:[0 – Camera dependent] Default: 0 Unit: µs

Off Trigger disabled

On [Default] Trigger enabled

Note



If TriggerMode = Off and TriggerSelector =

FrameStart, images triggered in FixedRate at

AcquisitionFrameRateAbs.

Off [Default] Any external trigger received before a high

FrameTriggerReady signal is ignored

PreviousFrame Any external trigger received before FrameTrigger-

Ready is latched and used to trigger the next frame

FrameStart [Default] The trigger which starts each image

(when acquisition is running)

AcquisitionStart The trigger which starts the acquisition process

AcquisitionEnd The trigger which ends the acquisition process
