'External Sync' instructs the camera to use one of the following options:
Internal: Camera uses its internal crystal oscillator to drive the frame rate.
External: Camera uses externally supplied frame sync clock pulse to drive the
frame rate. This can be used to synchronize two cameras together via F-Sync.
Lock to Video: Frame rate is driven by the camera's current video rate. Fps will
jump to the closest multiple of the current video rate (23.98, 24, 25, 29.97 or 30).
Sync to Trigger: Instructs the camera to adjust its frame clock, upon detection of
a trigger signal, to ensure all post trigger frames occur at the same moment in
time from trigger when repetitive tests are required.
When using External Sync it is important to limit the top frame rate by ~1%
to ensure the sync period is larger than 1/max_frame_rate + 0.1% or 200ns
(whichever is larger), to account for frequency tolerance and jitter.

TRIGGERING THE CAMER A
Selecting the 'Trigger' button instructs the camera to immediately stop recording when
the 'Trigger Position' is set to zero. If a value greater than zero is set, the camera will
continue to record 'post-trigger' frames until the user-specified value is met.
Using the camera's external trigger signal provides a more accurate trigger
to the camera. This is also referred to as a 'hardware trigger.'
