All bits must be set appropriately. 3.13 Triggering, Integration, and Frame Rate Overview Image capture triggering, integration, and frame rate are closely related. - Page 27 4M30 Camera User’s Manual • External Integration/Serial Trigger: The camera will integrate as long as the Serial Trigger signal is held high. The integration time is effectively the input pulse width. In this mode, the serial signal also controls the frame rate. Due to variation in the host operating system, this mode is generally used only for camera setup and functional testing.

4M30 Camera User’s Manual new External Trigger signal to trigger a new frame acquisition. The camera is “armed” when the read out of the acquired frame is completed. No additional rising edges, or triggers, should be allowed during the image acquisition or frame read out. This means in this mode TRIGGER IN necessarily controls both integration and frame rate. -
Page 30: Free Running
4M30 Camera User’s Manual Free Running Frame Rate can only be controlled by setting integration time. To specify programmed frame rate (by using integration time): Set bit [7] of the Control Register to 0 (Integrate Mode = Internal), and bit [3] of the Control Register to 0 (Trigger Mode = Internal). - Page 31 4M30 Camera User’s Manual Each TTL rising edge on the SMA connector or serial bit [0] of the Control Register will initiate a new frame of data, using the programmed integration time. To achieve 2.5 fps, a TTL pulse must be sent to the camera every 400 ms (1/2.5). External Integration This is the same as the External Integration/SMA Trigger Mode or the External Integration/Serial Trigger Mode.
