Camera Runs In Burst Triggered Mode - Photon Focus MV8-D8424-G01-GT User Manual

C Use Cases
1. The TriggerMode of FrameStart trigger must be set to On. The AcquisitionStart,
FrameBurstStart and the ExposureStart must be set to Off.
2. The TriggerSource of the FrameStart trigger must be set to the corresponding source. For
instances to Line0.
3. Since the source is set to Line0, the TriggerActivation must be set accordingly: RisingEdge,
FallingEdge or AnyEdge.
4. TriggerDelay and TriggerDivider of the FrameStart trigger must be set accordingly.
5. The required image Width and Height must be set.
6. The required PixelFormat must be set.
7. AcquisitionMode must be set to Continuous.
8. The software command AcquisitionStart() must be applied.
After these configurations, the camera is waiting for the corresponding signal edge of the
selected trigger source, in this case Line0.
It might be necessary to adjust the polarity of the Line0 input signal. This can be done by the
parameter LineInvert in the section DigitalIOControl.
If the camera must be triggered by a software signal, there are two ways, how this can be
done:
• Set the TriggerSource of the FrameStart trigger to Software. A frame is started, when the
TriggerSoftware() command of the FrameStart trigger is applied.
• Set the TriggerSource of the FrameStart trigger to one of the eight software signals; for
instances SoftwareSignal0. A frame is started, when the command TriggerSignalPulse() in
the section SoftwareSignalControl is applied (SoftwareSignalSelector must be set to
SoftwareSignal0).
C.1.4 Camera runs in burst triggered mode
If a certain number of images must be acquired on a single trigger input event, the cameras
frame burst start trigger feature can be used. The following configuration procedure shows
how to set the camera in burst triggered mode:
1. The TriggerMode of FrameBurstStart trigger must be set to On. The AcquisitionStart,
FrameStart and the ExposureStart trigger must be set to Off.
2. The TriggerSource of the FrameBurstStart trigger must be set to the corresponding source.
For instances to Line0.
3. Since the source is set to Line0, the TriggerActivation must be set accordingly: RisingEdge,
FallingEdge or AnyEdge.
4. TriggerDelay and TriggerDivider of the FrameBurstStart trigger must be set accordingly.
5. The number of frame within a burst must be set by parameter AcquisitionBurstFrameCount
parameter.
6. Set the parameter EnAcquisitionFrameRate to False if the frames within a burst must be
acquired as fast as possible.
7. If the frames within a burst must be acquired with a certain speed, set the parameter
EnAcquisitionFrameRate to True and configure either AcquisitionFrameTime or
AcquisitionFrameRate accordingly.
8. The required image Width and Height must be set.
