LPMVC-CL025M Manual 5.10. Trigger Mode LPMVC-CL025M supports the Internal Trigger Mode (which generates a trigger signal from the inside of the camera), the External Trigger Mode (which receives input signals via the external trigger port) and the Overlap Trigger Mode (which operates the image data transmission and the sensor exposure progress simultaneously).
LPMVC-CL025M Manual Figure 28. LPMVC-CL025M Trigger Delay Timing 5.10.3. Edge Preset Trigger Mode (Programmable exposure control) In Edge Preset Trigger Mode, the trigger signal is generated by the exposure time set in the camera. In order to operate the camera with Edge Preset Trigger Mode, User should select the Trigger Source by the External Trigger port or the CC1 port and should set the Sensor Exposure Time to the ‘Edge Preset Trigger’.
