Creating Double Acquisitions (Hrtc); Take Two Images After One External Trigger (Hrtc) - Balluff MATRIX VISION mvBlueFOX Series Technical Manual

1.18 Use Cases
Note
WaitDigIn waits for a state.
Between TriggerSet and TriggerReset has to be a waiting period.
If you are waiting for an external edge in a HRTC sequence like
WaitDigIn[On,Ignore]
WaitDigIn[Off,Ignore]
the minimum pulse width which can be detected by HRTC has to be at least 5 us.

1.18.10.3 Creating double acquisitions (HRTC)

Note
Please have a look at the Hardware Real-Time Controller (HRTC) (p. 70) chapter for basic information.
If you need a double acquisition, i.e. take two images in a very short time interval, you can achieve this by using the
HRTC.
With the following HRTC code, you will
• take an image using TriggerSet and after TriggerReset you have to
• set the camera to ExposeSet immediately.
• Now, you have to wait until the first image was read-out and then
• set the second TriggerSet.
The ExposureTime was set to 200 us.
