Setting The Camera For Hardware Triggering - Basler Pioneer User Manual

10.3.2 Setting the Camera for Hardware Triggering

To set the camera for hardware triggering:
Use the Trigger Selector parameter to select the Acquisition Start trigger.
Use the Trigger Mode parameter to set the trigger mode to On.
Use the Trigger Source parameter to set the camera to accept the hardware trigger signal on
input line 1 or on input line 2.
Use the Trigger Activation parameter to set the camera for rising edge triggering or for falling
edge triggering.
You can set these parameter values from within your application software by using the pylon API.
The following code snippet illustrates using the API to set the parameter values:
Camera.TriggerSelector.SetValue( TriggerSelector_AcquisitionStart );
Camera.TriggerMode.SetValue( TriggerMode_On );
Camera.TriggerSource.SetValue ( TriggerSource_Line1 );
Camera.TriggerActivation.SetValue( TriggerActivation_RisingEdge );
For detailed information about using the pylon API, refer to the Basler pylon Programmer's Guide
and API Reference.
You can also use the Basler pylon Viewer application to easily set the parameters.
For more information about the pylon Viewer, see Section 2.2 on
page 40.
