Bernd,

Thank you for contacting National Instruments.  One thing to be sure
to check when using the Configure Trigger VI is that the "Trigger
Mode" is set correctly to the desired behavior.  From the brief
description you gave, it sounds like Mode 0 (or possibly 1 or 2) will
be what you want for your application.  By default, the trigger will
run off of the falling edge.  If you have not had a chance to look
over it yet, glance through the help for Configure Trigger VI to see a
description of the inputs.

There are also a number of VIs included with the IMAQ 1394 Driver that
allow you to programmatically control the camera and set attributes
associated with the driver.  If you wish to change camera specific
attributes, then you can use the IMAQ1394 Write Registers VI (located
in the IMAQ IEEE-1394 Low level subpalette) to change register level
settings on the camera.  You will need the camera documentation in
order to know what register and information to write.

Depending on the camera, then all of the trigger modes may or may not
be supported.  The modes outlined in the help are valid for low-active
polarity.  If your camera needs to be specifically changed with a
Trigger_mode control register, then you will need to read that
information from Basler and then, if they have a configuration tool
use that, or you can use the LabVIEW VIs to modify that register.
