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 timer.

Values description

•Off: Disables the timer trigger.

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

•Line0 … Line6 (see overview): The timer is started by the chosen I/O line.

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

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

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

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

•UserOutput0, UserOutput1, UserOutput2, UserOutput3: The timer 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 TimerTriggerSource, make sure TimerSelector is set correctly
// Set TimerSelector to "Timer0"
nodeMapRemoteDevice->FindNode<peak::core::nodes::EnumerationNode>("TimerSelector")->SetCurrentEntry("Timer0");
// Determine the current entry of TimerTriggerSource
std::string value = nodeMapRemoteDevice->FindNode<peak::core::nodes::EnumerationNode>("TimerTriggerSource")->CurrentEntry()->SymbolicValue();
// Get a list of all available entries of TimerTriggerSource
auto allEntries = nodeMapRemoteDevice->FindNode<peak::core::nodes::EnumerationNode>("TimerTriggerSource")->Entries();
std::vector<std::shared_ptr<peak::core::nodes::EnumerationEntryNode>> availableEntries;
for(const auto & entry : allEntries)
{
  if ((entry->AccessStatus()!=peak::core::nodes::NodeAccessStatus::NotAvailable)
          && (entry->AccessStatus()!=peak::core::nodes::NodeAccessStatus::NotImplemented))
  {
      availableEntries.emplace_back(entry);
  }
}
// Set TimerTriggerSource to "Off"
nodeMapRemoteDevice->FindNode<peak::core::nodes::EnumerationNode>("TimerTriggerSource")->SetCurrentEntry("Off");

// Set TimerTriggerSource to "Off"
