Hello,

In the link you used the internal trigger generator is working and is routed out to the sync cable (which is probably self-looped - input and output wires are connected):

Try:
1. Set TRIG_OUT=0x0 to stop internal pulses at the sync cable output:

# old link:
http://192.168.0.9/parsedit.php?sensor_port=0&immediate&TRIG_CONDITION=0x95555&TRIG_OUT=0x66555&TRIG_PERIOD=100000000&TRIG=4
# new link:
http://192.168.0.9/parsedit.php?sensor_port=0&immediate&TRIG_CONDITION=0x95555&TRIG_OUT=0x0&TRIG_PERIOD=100000000&TRIG=4

or

2. If the sync cable inputs and outputs connected. Disconnect the wires from each other and apply your trigger source:
signal or "+" - to Black wire,
ground or "-" - to Green wire.
Please, check the wire colors and pinout here<https://wiki.elphel.com/wiki/103891>.

Let us know if that worked. Thanks. I'll update our docs to make them clear.

Hi, Andrey!
    Thany you for your patience to answer our questions!
    I have some new questions about external trigger. When I set the trigger parameter as the page http://192.168.0.9/parsedit.php?sensor_port=0&immediate&TRIG_CONDITION=0x95555&TRIG_OUT=0x66555&TRIG_PERIOD=10000000&TRIG=4,<http://192.168.0.9/parsedit.php?sensor_port=0&immediate&TRIG_CONDITION=0x95555&TRIG_OUT=0x66555&TRIG_PERIOD=100000000&TRIG=4,> and I made the trigger board pulsing out the signal(10HZ), I found we could get 10 images. But I stopped the trigger board signal, I also could update the image(10hz). I wanted to konw that how can I test the external trigger signal work? Because when i stop external source trigger signal, it could receive images too.

Hello,

Here are a couple commands (in linux) that can help to check and sync the system clock:
- Compare PC and camera clock:
~$ ssh root at 192.168.0.9<mailto:root at 192.168.0.9> date;date -u
- Write PC time into camera clock:
~$ ssh root at 192.168.0.9<mailto:root at 192.168.0.9> "date -s @`( date -u +"%s" )` &&  hwclock -w"

After setting the system clock check if the time survives the reboot. If it does not - then please update the firmware to 20180511<https://wiki.elphel.com/wiki/10393_manual#Firmware.2Fsoftware_update>. There was a bug in the clock driver we had to fix a while ago.

Regards,
Oleg

Hi, Andrey,


We use default configuration(TRIG=4 and TRIG_PERIOD=25000000). Is that OK? And now our situation is there are timestamps in EXIF header. But it is not

the kernel's system time.

e.g. the timestamp in EXIF may be 2018/09/14 but actually system's date is 2018/09/18.

How can i fix it? Thanks.


Best,

David

Winston,

What trigger settings do you use ( https://wiki.elphel.com/wiki/Trigger_393 )?
Trigger 393 - ElphelWiki - wiki.elphel.com<https://wiki.elphel.com/wiki/Trigger_393>
wiki.elphel.com<http://wiki.elphel.com>
Description. 10389 board is required. The triggering is used for one or several cameras synchronization or setting the frame rate (or fps). The conditions of the trigger can be generated either internally or externally.




Camera channels should be in triggered mode (TRIG=4) and have  correct TRIG_PERIOD. Then all channels will be exactly synchronized. If you set TRIG_PERIOD to some "even" number (like exactly  10fps with TRIG_PERIOD=10000000), then timestamps will have all digits but seconds and tenths of a second the same for all frames.

Andrey

Hi, Andrey!
    I captured some images form camera with the timestamp image name. This timestamp was the same with camera system timestamp. And the other way,  each image had its exif information that contained the real timestamp. But this timestamp from exif information was not the same with system timestamp. So can you provided some detials about where was the exif timestamp  from. And how did i do can solve this problem.

(i had synchronized the camera system time with the GPS timestamp.)

Winston,

I could get the info from the 192.168.0.9:2323<http://192.168.0.9:2323>. This web could help me to get some information. But if I tried the http://192.168.0.9:2323/timestamp_name, the timestamp file saved web did not appear. How did I use it?

http://192.168.0.9:2323/pointer_value/img

Try the following:
1. get diagnostics.php<https://git.elphel.com/Elphel/elphel-web-393/blob/master/src/diagnostics/diagnostics.php>
2. copy to 192.168.0.9:/www/pages/
3. In the browser open:
view-source:http://192.168.0.9/diagnostics.php?pointers

You will get xml output similar to this one:
<?xml version='1.0' standalone='yes'?>
<Document>
<camera ip='192.168.0.9'>
<port index='0' sensor='mt9p006, none, none, none' mux='none'>
<timestamps>
                        ...
<ts frame='7290' ts='1526075540.347616' ptr='pointer_value'>1526075540.347616</ts>
...

Take the pointer_value from the last <ts> for a particular port. Don't forget to add "/img" or "/bimg".

If something does not work. Please send me your xml.
