General Settings - Iqinvision IQeye User Manual

6.2.1 General Settings

The items on the left side of the Trigger Settings page control the trigger event itself. Depending
on your particular configuration, a trigger event can prompt the camera to perform a series of
actions. The remainder of the settings on the trigger settings page configure the actions that the
camera will take based on these settings.
Use the settings displayed above to configure software initiated trigger events, choose the
method that the camera will use for transferring images from trigger events, and customize the
sequence of images that result from trigger events. If you wish to connect an external sensor to
your camera for controlling trigger events, specify the action that will initiate a trigger event by
selecting onopen or onclose.
time lapse period
external input
Enter the amount of time, in seconds, that should pass between
automatic trigger events. For example, if you enter 120.0, exactly
two minutes will pass between trigger events. The amount of time
between the events is measured from the end of the preceding event.
Entering a non-zero number into this field enables the periodic
triggering feature. Once the number is entered, the camera will
immediately begin to initiate periodic trigger events.
Select the condition when the input from an attached device will
cause a trigger event. Since the input is connected to a switch within
the camera, the input has two states during a trigger event: open and
closed. Normally Open switch devices can cause a trigger event either
when the switch closes, which happens once the trigger event occurs,
or when the switch opens again, which happens when the device
returns to normal. Likewise, Normally Closed switch devices can
cause a trigger event either when the switch opens or when it closes
again.
