lego_trigger

Implements different trigger cases from the Techtip “Triggering according to the Lego principle”.

Note: When exiting the sample, the camera remains in trigger mode. If you want to use the camera in freerun mode afterwards, load the "Default" UserSet or set all TriggerMode entries to "Off".

linescan_live_qtwidgets

Opens a camera and configures it for line scan applications. The example uses QtWidgets for this.

Note: When exiting the sample, the camera remains in line scan mode. If you want to use the camera in default mode afterward, load the "Default" UserSet.
