    4.6 External Trigger An external trigger is an event that starts an exposure. The trigger signal is either generated on the frame grabber (soft-trigger) or comes from an external device such as a light barrier. If a trigger signal is applied to the camera before the earliest time for the next trigger, this trigger will be ignored.

The trigger input is equipped with a constant current diode which limits the current of the optocoupler over a wide range of voltages. Trigger signals can thus directly get connected with the input pin and there is no need for a current limiting resistor, that depends with its value on the input voltage.

    5.3 Read-out Timing 5.3.1 Free running Mode Sequential readout timing By default, the camera is in free running mode and delivers images without any external control signals. The sensor is operated in sequential readout mode, which means that the sensor is read out after the exposure time. Then the sensor is reset, a new exposure starts and the readout of the image information begins again.
