Description

trigger(obj) initiates data logging for the video input object obj. obj can be either a single video input object or an array of video input objects.

The trigger function

• Executes the object's TriggerFcn callback

• Records the absolute time of the first trigger event in the object's InitialTriggerTime property

• Configures the object's Logging property to 'On'

obj must be running and its TriggerType property must be set to 'manual'. To start an object running, use the start function.

The trigger event is recorded in the object's EventLog property.
