Signal Description
GPO Configured to be a general purpose output, control is assigned to
SyncOutGpoLevels.
AcquisitionTriggerReady Active once the camera has been recognized by the host PC and is ready to start
acquisition.
FrameTriggerReady Active when the camera is in a state that will accept the next frame trigger.
FrameTrigger Active when an image has been initiated to start. This is a logic trigger
internal to the camera, which is initiated by an external trigger or software
trigger event.
Exposing Exposing – active for the duration of sensor exposure.
FrameReadout Active during frame readout, i.e., the transferring of image data from the CCD
to the camera memory.
