Running Cameras Hardware Synchronized

This topic shows how to perform hardware synchronization of two cameras.

Please read the topics Capturing with Hardware Trigger and Using Digital IOs first for more background on hardware triggered capture operation and IO usage.

Setup

We assume to have two cameras connected with the serial numbers "1234" and "2345". The output of camera "1234" is electrically connected to the input of camera "2345". We want to run camera "1234" in software trigger mode, and "2345" should run hardware synchronized to the software triggered images of "1234".
