Trigger Modes

The IIDC 1.31 and GigE Vision 1.0 specifications provide several external triggering modes for cameras. A camera may support one or more of the triggering modes. Additionally, a camera may support triggering modes that are vendor specific. Refer to your camera documentation to find out which standard modes are supported.

Configure triggers before configuring and starting the acquisition. Use the Camera Attribute functions to configure the triggers.

The following sections describe how to configure your triggers for different cameras.
