Using the software trigger on 4 different acA1920-40gc

Hello everybody,

I have 4 different acA1920-40gc cameras on the same PoE switch and I would like to trigger the cameras at the same time.

I first used an InstantCameraArray and then going through it doing a GrabOne(100) on each of the cameras but this is not optimal and there is some delay.

What would be the best to do it? I saw that there is function called ExecuteSoftwareTrigger() but the example is only for a single camera case. How should I go through the InstantCameraArray and make sure all the cameras are taking a picture at the same time?

Thank you very much for your help,

I think your options are to use one of these:

1. Synchronous Free Run
2. Action Commands
3. Scheduled Action Commands

Since ExecuteSoftwareTrigger() is a method of InstantCamera, it only deals with a single camera. There is no ExecuteSoftwareTrigger() method in the class InstantCameraArray (because that cannot be implemented in a generic way for all camera models),
