GenICam Devices

Triggering images can be realized by using the required device properties. Depending on the device type there might be different settings available which can be configured using an instance of a mvIMPACT.acquire.GenICam.AcquisitionControl object.

As trigger capabilities have a strong relationship to specific hardware it would be a good idea to check the corresponding translation dictionaries of the corresponding properties e.g.:

mvIMPACT.acquire.GenICam.AcquisitionControl.triggerSelector
mvIMPACT.acquire.GenICam.AcquisitionControl.triggerSource
mvIMPACT.acquire.GenICam.AcquisitionControl.triggerMode

A sample on how to query a property's translation dictionary can be found here:

mvIMPACT.acquire.PropertyI.getTranslationDict

Non GenICam devices

All trigger modes are defined by the enumeration

However, not every device will offer all these trigger modes but a subset of them. Valid trigger modes therefore can be found by reading the properties translation dictionary.

Cameras
