motmot.fview_ext_trig - camera trigger device

motmot.fview_ext_trig

module: fview_ext_trig single: fview_ext_trig single: analog input single: synchronization

This package provides Python access to the motmot camera trigger device <fview_ext_trig-overview>. There are three modules within this package:

  • motmot.fview_ext_trig.ttrigger -- This is a Python module with traited classes to interact with the camtrig <camtrig> device. (lowest level)
  • motmot.fview_ext_trig.live_timestamp_modeler -- This module provides a class, LiveTimestampModeler, that links the clocks of the camera and the host computer, keeping a running update of the relationship between the computer's clock and the current framenumber on the camera. The LiveTimestampModelerWithAnalogInput class also provides a time-locked data stream on up to four channels. (middle level)
  • motmot.fview_ext_trig.fview_ext_trig -- This model implements a plugin for fview to use the LiveTimestampModelerWithAnalogInput class. (high level)

Command-line commands

This package installs several command-line commands:

  • trigger_set_frequency -- Set the frequency of the camera sync trigger on the CamTrig device.
  • trigger_check_device -- Check for the presence of the CamTrig device. If the device is not found, it returns with a non-zero exit code.
  • trigger_enter_dfu_mode -- Reboot the CamTrig device into the DFU (Device Firmware Upload) mode. This can be used in conjunction with dfu_programmer or Atmel FLIP to flash the device with new firmware.

motmot.fview_ext_trig.fview_ext_trig

This Python module implements a class, FviewExtTrig, that provides an fview plugin to use the camtrig <camtrig> device. In the fview_ext_trig setup.py file, this class is registered as an FView plugin (see writing FView plugins <fview-plugin-writing>).

fview_ext_trig requirements

traits, remote_traits, pylibusb

To use the fview plugin, you will also need chaco.
