TimerPeriod - Specify number of seconds between timer events

Description

The toolbox measures time relative to when the object is started with the start function. Timer events stop being generated when the image acquisition object stops running.

Note   Some timer events might not be processed if your system is significantly slowed or if the TimerPeriod value you specify is too small.
