Hardware Trigger Function
Hardware trigger mode is available only when the camera works at slave mode, in
slave mode the camera will wait for the hardware trigger signal on Ext_Trigger.
The EXT_Trigger signal is to driver the MOSFET, External input trigger signal voltage
should range 3.3V-20V, driving current ability should be more than 5mA;
You can use input pin Ext_Trigger to send a hardware trigger signal to the camera.
The hardware trigger can be used to trigger the acquisition start. A hardware
debouncer circuit shall be considered on the EXT_Trigger line.
By default, the hardware trigger is rising edge activated, refer to below exposure
timing:
