4.5.3. Trigger
Figure 4-30 Trigger Button
The “Trigger” button enables the camera to capture images only when an electric signal is sent to the
Beamage-3.0 via the SMA connector. This can synchronize the system’s capture rate with a pulsed laser
source. A SMA to BNC adaptor is provided (202273). The input trigger signal can be from 1.1 volts to 24
volts. The rise edge response time is 300 ns. The pulse width of the trigger signal must be between 300
ns and 230 ms.
