Connections:

• External Trigger: Camera gets an Input to know when to start the acquisition
• Output A, B, C: Camera send an output to other devices to trigger their timing
• Fire: Camera sends a signal to show the duration of the Exposure Time
• Arm: Camera sends a signal indicating when it can accept an External Trigger
• Direct Gate: Camera gets a signal, that times the opening and closing of the PhotoCathode Gate
• Gate Monitor: Camera sends a signal showing when the PhotoCathode was intensified(Cable is supplied by Andor)

Here are the steps to continuously triggering the streak camera and allowing the python script to archive the images.

1. Turn on the camera and the HV
2. Click on File, then Click Algorithms\AcquireLoop.ini
3. the click to Algorithms Tab, then navigate the directory from Algorithms to Loop: N=1
4. Click the “PLAY” button to run.
5. Move to a terminal, Go to Directory:
6. Run
7. If you do a test, while Gen Archiving, from your laptop, the Shot_Numbers should match

With the majority of Austin help, we got the Chris M. Allied Vision Camera working. The Main issue it was having was the Streaming, which relates to the time it takes to look for a Voltage trigger.

This, coupled with arming the camera, there were differences between it and the Balser. We couldn't pull the frame willing we were streaming, but we needing to be stream long enough for the trigger to go through.

plus, the switching between Internal(BG and live view) and External(Experiment) modes cause this to be a bigger issue.

We did get this working seamlessly.
