// Set the mode for the selected trigger
camera.TriggerMode.SetValue( TriggerMode_On );
// Set the source for the selected trigger
camera.TriggerSource.SetValue ( TriggerSource_Line1 );

You can also use the Basler pylon Viewer application to easily set the parameters.

Using a Software Frame Burst Start Trigger

6.3.4.1

Introduction

If the camera's FrameBurstStartTriggerMode parameter is set to on and the FrameBurstStart
TriggerSource parameter is set to software, you must apply a software frame burst start trigger
signal to the camera before you can begin frame acquisition.
A software frame burst start trigger signal is applied by:
Setting the TriggerSelector parameter to Acquisition Start.

Executing a Trigger Software command.

The camera will initially be in a "waiting for frame burst start trigger" acquisition status. It cannot
react to frame trigger signals when in this acquisition status. When a software frame burst start
trigger signal is received by the camera, it will exit the "waiting for frame burst start trigger"
acquisition status and will enter the "waiting for frame start trigger" acquisition status. It can then
react to frame start trigger signals. When the number of frame start trigger signals received by the
camera is equal to the current AcquisitionBurstFrameCount parameter setting, the camera will
return to the "waiting for frame burst start trigger" acquisition status. When a new software frame
burst start trigger signal is applied to the camera, it will again exit from the "waiting for frame burst
start trigger" acquisition status and enter the "waiting for frame start trigger" acquisition status.
(Note that as long as the TriggerSelector parameter is set to FrameBurstStart, a software frame
burst start trigger will be applied to the camera each time a Trigger Software command is executed.)
