LabView IC Extension set Trigger Operation

[TheKorbi]

Hi,
I am currently developing a LabView program that is supposed to capture an image when a trigger is being sent to the camera.
The camera does have to modes of operation for the shutter, rolling and global reset release. I am able to change the mode within ICCapture, but I also want to be able to change it inside my LabView program. Unfortunately I am unable to find the correct command for it.

Does anybody know how to do this?

Thanks

Hello Korbi

Which camera model do you use?
In case it is an USB camera: If you use the National Instruments IMAQdx, please complain at NI, that they forgot to implement the trigger interface. (And a lot of more things like frame rates.)

In case you use our LabVIEW extension, based on an older IC Imaging Control ActiveX, you will find a VI for enabling the trigger. Using a triggered camera always should be done with a callback function, which is called, when a new image arrives. For doing so, the "LiveCaptureContinuous" property of IC Imaging Control must be set to true and you can implement the ImageAvailable event.
