This configuration enables the frame start trigger and disables all other trigger types. As trigger source the first available action command is selected, i.e., the camera will be triggered by action commands issued by the application. In contrast to using the software trigger triggering with action commands allows to trigger multiple cameras simultaneously. Either register this configuration as an Instant Camera's event handler or apply the configuration to the node map of an opened pylon device using one of the ApplyConfiguration methods. The %CActionTriggerConfiguration is provided as header-only file. The code can be copied and modified for creating own configuration classes. */ class CActionTriggerConfiguration : public CConfigurationEventHandler { public: struct ActionParameter { uint32_t DeviceKey; uint32_t GroupKey; uint32_t GroupMask; ActionParameter() : DeviceKey( 0 ), GroupKey( 0 ), GroupMask( AllGroupMask ) { } ActionParameter( uint32_t DeviceKey_, uint32_t GroupKey_, uint32_t GroupMask_ = AllGroupMask ) : DeviceKey( DeviceKey_ ), GroupKey( GroupKey_ ), GroupMask( GroupMask_ ) { } }; // constructors and assignment CActionTriggerConfiguration( uint32_t DeviceKey, uint32_t GroupKey, uint32_t GroupMask = AllGroupMask ) : m_Parameter( DeviceKey, GroupKey, GroupMask ) { } CActionTriggerConfiguration( const ActionParameter& p ) : m_Parameter( p ) { } CActionTriggerConfiguration( const CActionTriggerConfiguration& other ) : CConfigurationEventHandler( other ) { m_Parameter = other.m_Parameter; } CActionTriggerConfiguration& operator=( const CActionTriggerConfiguration& rhs ) { m_Parameter = rhs.m_Parameter; return *this; } // destructor virtual ~CActionTriggerConfiguration() { } /// Apply action trigger configuration to a given camera device node map. static void ApplyConfiguration( GenApi::INodeMap& deviceNodeMap, const ActionParameter& p ) { ApplyConfiguration( deviceNodeMap, p.DeviceKey, p.GroupKey, p.GroupMask ); } /// Apply action trigger configuration to a given camera device node map. static void ApplyConfiguration( GenApi::INodeMap& deviceNodeMap, uint32_t DeviceKey, uint32_t GroupKey, uint32_t GroupMask = AllGroupMask ) { using namespace GenApi; //Disable compression mode.
