Strobe

Definition Strobe is an internal signal generator for on-camera clocking functions. Valid

when any of the SyncOutSource is set to Strobe1. Strobe allows the

added functionality of duration and delay, useful when trying to sync a camera

exposure to an external strobe.

StrobeDelay [Integer] R/W

Delay from strobe trigger to strobe output.

StrobeDuration [Integer] R/W

Duration of strobe signal.

StrobeDurationMode [Enum] R/W

Mode of the strobe timing unit.

StrobeSource [Enum] R/W

Associates the start of strobe signal with one of the following image capture

events:

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

Source [Default] Strobe duration is the same as source duration

Controlled Strobe duration is set by StrobeDuration

AcquisitionTriggerReady Active once the camera has been recognized by the host PC and is

ready to start acquisition

FrameTriggerReady Active when the camera is in a state that will accept the next frame

trigger

FrameTrigger [Default] Active when an image has been initiated to start. This is

the logic trigger signal inside of the camera. It is initiated by an

external trigger or software trigger

Exposing Active for the duration of sensor exposure

FrameReadout Active for the duration of frame readout, i.e. the transferring of

image data from the CCD to camera memory

Acquiring Active during the acquisition stream

LineIn1 Active when there is an external trigger at line1

LineIn2 Active when there is an external trigger at line2

LineIn3 Active when there is an external trigger at line3

LineIn4 Active when there is an external trigger at line4
