To signal a missed image acquisition:

  1. Click the Set Up Image step.
  2. In the Edit Acquisition Settings group box, select Camera from the Trigger drop-down menu.
  3. Go back to the Inputs/Outputs step.
  4. Select an output line, and set the Signal Type to Acquisition End. Specify the pulse length by pressing the Details button.
  5. Select another output Line, and set the Signal Type to ERR: Missed Acquisition. This signals that an acquisition trigger was received before an Acquisition End signal was sent, or that no image buffer was available for image acquisition when an acquisition trigger was received.
