Acquire Images

1. Select the NI image acquisition device connected to the camera to acquire an image.
2. Click the Trigger tab.
3. Enable the Triggered Acquisition control if you want to start the image capture with a trigger.

   Note  The trigger signal must be connected to a trigger line of the NI image acquisition device.

   Caution  The trigger input lines of NI image acquisition devices expect TTL signals and are not isolated. Do not provide anything other than TTL signals on these lines. Doing so could permanently damage the NI image acquisition device.

4. Select the trigger line to which the trigger signal is connected.
5. Select the trigger polarity. Select Rising Edge if you want to start the acquisition of a new image on the rising edge of the trigger signal. Select Falling Edge if you want to start the acquisition of a new image on the falling edge of the trigger signal.
6. Enter a timeout value.
7. Click the Acquire Single Image, Acquire Continuous Images, or Sequence Acquisition button.
8. Click Close to exit the Setup window.
