Using A Software Frame Start Trigger - Basler DART BCON SERIES User Manual

Image Acquisition Control
Exposure Time Control with Trigger Mode Set to On
If the TriggerMode parameter is set to On and the TriggerSource parameter is
set to Software, the exposure time for each frame acquisition is determined by the value of the

camera's ExposureTime parameter.
set to CC0, the exposure time for each frame acquisition can be controlled with the

ExposureTime parameter or it can be controlled by manipulating the hardware trigger signal.
For more information about
controlling exposure time when using a software trigger, see Section 9.2.2 on

Immediate Trigger Mode
Available for ...
daA1280-54bm/bc, daA2500-14bm/bc
If the TriggerMode parameter is set to On, the immediate trigger mode setting also takes effect.
You can enable or disable the immediate trigger mode by setting the ImmediateTriggerMode
parameter to one of the following values:
On: Exposure starts immediately after triggering, but changes to image parameters become

effective with a short delay, i.e., after one or more images have been acquired. This is useful if
you want to minimize the exposure start delay, i.e., if you want to start image acquisition as
soon as possible, and if your imaging conditions are stable.
Off: Changes to image parameters become effective immediately, but exposure starts with a

short delay after triggering.
By default, the parameter is set to Off.
9.2.2

Using a Software Frame Start Trigger

If the TriggerMode parameter is set to On and the TriggerSource parameter is set to Software,
you must apply a software frame start trigger signal to the camera to begin each frame

acquisition.
the camera's Exposure Mode parameter must be set to Timed. The exposure time is set by the

ExposureTime parameter.
the frame rate will be determined by how often you apply a software trigger signal to the

camera.
