Programmable with lookup table
Trigger control:
The Meridian camera utilizes an IBIS4 sensor which has no snapshot mode. At the same time, the camera operating in video mode can receive an external signal via the external connector and mark the current frame. The driver and API allow the user application to distinguish the labeled frame and act according to requirements.
