Exteral Trigger Function

• The Global Shutter (GS) camera can be triggered externally by pulsing the external trigger (denoted on the board as XTR（Trig+）,GND(Trig-)) connection on the board. Multiple cameras can be connected to the same pulse, allowing for an alternative way to synchronise two cameras.

• The exposure time is equal to the low pulse-width time plus an additional 14.26us. i.e. a low pulse of 10000us leads to an exposure time of 10014.26us. Framerate is directly controlled by how often you pulse the pin. A PWM frequency of 30Hz will lead to a framerate of 30 frames per second.
