Trigger Modes
The camera's image exposures are initiated by a trigger event. The trigger event is either a
programmable internal signal used in free running mode, an external input used for synchronizing
exposures to external triggers, or a programmed function call message by the controlling
computer. These triggering modes are described below.
The Trigger Mode feature is available in the camera's I/O Controls category:
