IDS peak 2.8.0 / uEye+ firmware 3.33

Selects the internal signal or physical input line that will be the source to start the counter.

Values description

•Off: Disables the counter trigger.

•AcquisitionTrigger: The counter starts with the reception of an "AcquisitionStart" trigger signal.

•AcquisitionTriggerMissed: The counter starts with the reception of the missed "AcquisitionStart" trigger signal.

•AcquisitionStart: The counter starts when an acquisition starts.

•AcquisitionEnd: The counter starts when an acquisition stops.

•Counter0Start, Counter1Start: The counter starts with the reception of the selected "CounterStart" signal.

•Counter0End, Counter1End: The counter starts with the reception of the selected "CounterEnd" signal.

•ExposureTrigger: The counter starts with the reception of the "ExposureStart" trigger signal. Only available in SensorOperationMode "LongExposure" and "Default".

•ExposureTriggerMissed: The counter starts with the reception of a missed "ExposureStart" trigger signal. Only available in SensorOperationMode "LongExposure" and "Default".

•ExposureStart: The counter starts when an exposure starts.

•ExposureEnd: The counter starts when an exposure ends.

•FrameTrigger: The counter starts with the reception of the "FrameStart" trigger signal. Only available in SensorOperationMode "Linescan".

•FrameTriggerMissed: The counter starts with the reception a missed "FrameStart" trigger signal. Only available in SensorOperationMode "Linescan".

•FrameStart: The counter starts when a frame starts. Only available in SensorOperationMode "Linescan".

•FrameEnd: The counter starts when a frame ends.

•LineTriggerMissed: The counter starts with the reception a missed "LineStart" trigger signal. Only available in SensorOperationMode "Linescan".

•Line0 … Line6: The counter is started by "Line0" … "Line6" (see overview).

•ReadOutStart: The counter starts with the reception of the "ReadOutStart" signal.

•ReadOutEnd: The counter starts with the reception of the "ReadOutEnd" signal.

•Timer0Start, Timer1Start: The counter starts with the reception of the selected "TimerStart" signal.

•Timer0End, Timer1End: The counter starts with the reception of the selected "TimerEnd" signal.

•UserOutput0, UserOutput1, UserOutput2, UserOutput3: The counter is started by the selected "UserOutput".

Overview of available lines by camera family

This overview describes all available lines. Depending on the camera model used, not all functions may be supported.

•Input: Physical input line that e.g. serves as trigger input (LineMode = "Input" only).

•Output: Physical output line that e.g. serves as flash output (LineMode = "Output" only).

•GPIO: Input or output line that can be used as input or output. To configure the line as input, change LineMode to "Input". To configure the line as output, change LineMode to "Output".

You will find information about the pin assignment and wiring of your camera either in the hardware descriptions of the respective camera family or in the model-specific data sheet.

Code example

C++

// Before accessing CounterTriggerSource, make sure CounterSelector is set correctly
// Set CounterSelector to "Counter0"
nodeMapRemoteDevice->FindNode<peak::core::nodes::EnumerationNode>("CounterSelector")->SetCurrentEntry("Counter0");
// Determine the current entry of CounterTriggerSource
std::string value = nodeMapRemoteDevice->FindNode<peak::core::nodes::EnumerationNode>("CounterTriggerSource")->CurrentEntry()->SymbolicValue();
// Get a list of all available entries of CounterTriggerSource
auto allEntries = nodeMapRemoteDevice->FindNode<peak::core::nodes::EnumerationNode>("CounterTriggerSource")->Entries();
std::vector<std::shared_ptr<peak::core::nodes::EnumerationEntryNode>> availableEntries;

{
  if ((entry->AccessStatus()!=peak::core::nodes::NodeAccessStatus::NotAvailable)
          && (entry->AccessStatus()!=peak::core::nodes::NodeAccessStatus::NotImplemented))
  {
      availableEntries.emplace_back(entry);
  }
}
// Set CounterTriggerSource to "Off"
nodeMapRemoteDevice->FindNode<peak::core::nodes::EnumerationNode>("CounterTriggerSource")->SetCurrentEntry("Off");
