Strobe

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

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

added functionality of duration and delay, which is 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 recog-

nized by the host PC and is ready to start

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 expo-

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

LineIn2 Active when there is an external trigger
