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

diagrams provided in the camera manuals.
