NAME
gpiv_trig - triggers a (double Nd_YAGG) laser with a CCD camera.
SYNOPSIS
gpiv_trig [-h | --help] [-i | --interactive] [-v | --version] [-V |
--verbose]
DESCRIPTION
gpiv_trig triggers a CCD camera and a (double Nd_YAGG) laser for
Particle Image velocimetry (PIV). The code uses a kernel module
gpivtrig_rtl from the gpivtrig package that depends on the Real Time
Application Interface (RTAI) and RealtimeLinux. Trigger pulses are send
to the parallel port of the PC (/dev/lpt0 or /dev/lpt1; see the
configure script of the gpivtrig package) at bins #1 (camera), #2 and
#3 (first and second laser respectively). The program may be started
directly if all modules have been loaded or by the gpiv_control script,
also included in the gpivtrig package, which takes care of the loading
and unloading of the needed kernel modules. Currently, gpiv_trig is
tested with RTAI-3.1 and the linux kernel-2.4.27.
This program uses the TRIG parameters. The command line options are
explained below.
Options

-i | --interactive
