Software The software sends trigger signal to
the camera via Camera Link
interface to acquire images.
Specific Line External device connects camera via
camera I/O interface. External
device sends trigger signal to
camera to acquire images.
Encoder This trigger source uses shaft
Module Out encoder module to receive signal A
and signal B with phase difference.
After internal computing of the
module, the outputted signal can be
used as camera's trigger signal.
Frequency This trigger source allows different
Converter frequency between trigger camera
signal and required input signal.
CC1/CC2/CC3/C Frame grabber triggers camera to
C4 acquire images by sending signal via
Camera Link cable.
