2.5.3 Fast Synchronized Triggering – Rapid Capture
Fast synchronized triggering (a.k.a. rapid capture) provides the ability to run
the camera in a slave mode, allowing several cameras to be synchronized with
an external master trigger signal. This mode also enables the camera to run
close to its original frame rate. If hardware or software mode is enabled in
rapid capture mode, the camera idles and waits for a trigger signal to come
from the selected source (the external connector or CC1). Upon receiving the
trigger signal, the camera starts integration until the next trigger is received.
Then the information is transferred to the registers and read out. During this
time the next fram
camera exposure
mode there is no strobe pulse associated with each trigger pulse. To use the
strobe, the user must enable it – figure 2.43. For more information how to
enable/disable or control the strobe position refer to section 2.6.
CAUTION NOTE
1. The time interval between the trigger pulses must be greater than the
corresponding camera frame duration – refer to section 2.1.4 Timing
Diagrams.
2. If the interval between the trigger pulses is greater than 2 or 3 times the
standard frame time, it is recommended that the standard triggering
option be used.
