TriggerDelay

Description

Returns or sets the absolute value of the trigger delay in microseconds or raw units.


Syntax

[VB]
objActiveGige.TriggerDelay [= Value]

[C/C++]
HRESULT get_TriggerDelay( float *pValue );
HRESULT put_TriggerDelay( float Value );


Data Type [VB]

Single

Parameters [C/C++]

pValue [out,retval]

Pointer to the current trigger delay value

Value [in]

The trigger delay value to be set

Return Values

S_OK

Success

E_NOINTERFACE

The feature is not available for the selected camera

E_INVALIDARG

The value is out of range

E_FAIL

Failure to set the feature value

Example

The following VB example sets a hardware trigger which will start the capture of each frame on the rising edge of the signal coming from the physical input Line1:

ActiveGige1.TriggerSelector = "FrameStart"
ActiveGige1.Trigger = True
ActiveGige1.TriggerActivation = "RisingEdge"
ActiveGige1.TriggerDelay = 10000.
ActiveGige1.TriggerSource = "Line1"
ActiveGige1.Acquire = True

Remarks

Trigger delay changes the time after the trigger reception before effectively activating it. Prior to setting up this property, select a corresponding trigger configuration with TriggerSelector. The valid property range can be retrieved by the GetTriggerDelayMin and GetTriggerDelayMax methods.

Note that the property is available only if the currently selected camera supports one of the following GenICam features: TriggerDelay, TriggerDelayAbs, TriggerDelayRaw.
