Trigger Counter And Trigger Flag; Extended Version Information - Basler exA640-60m Operating Manual

Operation and Features

5.10.2.3 Trigger Counter and Trigger Flag

The eXcite includes a trigger counter feature and a trigger flag feature.
The trigger counter increments by one each time an image capture is triggered regardless of
whether the trigger is internal (one shot or continuous shot commands only) or is external
(hardware or software trigger). Triggers that occur when the camera is not ready are discarded
and not counted. The trigger counter wraps to zero after 65535 is reached.
You can read the value of the Trigger Counter parameter to determine the current trigger count.
To read the Trigger Counter parameter value, access the eXcite API and use the GetValue method
for the TriggerCounter object. (For more information on using the API, refer to the API Reference
documentation.)
Writes to the Trigger Counter parameter are ignored.
The trigger flag indicates whether one or more triggers has been detected since the last time the
value of the Trigger Flag parameter was checked. If one or more triggers has been detected since
the last time the Trigger Flag parameter was read, the trigger flag will be true. Reading the Trigger
Flag parameter clears the value of the flag to false.
To read the Trigger Flag parameter value, access the camera API and use the GetValue method
for the TriggerFlag object.
Writes to the Trigger Flag parameter are ignored.

5.10.2.4 Extended Version Information

eXcite cameras include a register that contains version numbers for the camera's internal
software. For troubleshooting purposes, Basler technical support may ask you to read this register
and to supply the results. (For more information on contacting Basler technical support, see
Section 7.)
To read the extended version information, access the eXcite API and use the Get Value method
for the ExtVerInfo object. (For more information on using the API, refer to the API Reference
documentation. The Get Value method will return a string containing the version information.)
