Trigger Mode is also used to enable the 
Ex-Trig exposure start control; enabling users to select rising or falling edge 
triggering and to assign a physical input port to receive the Ex-Trig signal. 
 
The Ex-Trig signal can be periodic or non-periodic. When the camera is 
operating under control of an Ex-Trig signal, the period of the Ex-Trig signal 
determines the camera’s frame rate: 
1 / Ex-Trig period per second = frame rate 
For example, if you are operating a camera with an Ex-Trig signal period of 
20ms (0.02s): 
When programmable mode is selected, the length of the exposure is 
determined by the shutter setting described in “1.4.6 Shutter (Exposure)”. If 
the camera is set for rising edge triggering, exposure starts when the 
Ex-Trig signal rises. If the camera is set for falling edge triggering, exposure 
starts when the Ex-Trig signal falls.   
External  Trigger 
The external trigger (Ex-Trig) input signal can be used to control the start of 
exposure.  A rising edge or a falling edge can also be used to trigger 
exposure start. The External 
1/0.02 = 50 fps 
So in this case, the frame rate is 50fps 
The minimum high time for a rising edge trigger (or low time for a falling 
edge trigger) is 1us. 
 
Exposure Modes 
If you are triggering the camera with an Ex-Trig signal, two exposure modes 
are available, programmable mode and level controlled mode.
