This function is used by default. It prints a message asking the operator to manually trigger a flash. A more elaborate function, using specific hardware can be used to automatically trigger a light source or some other synchronized event such as releasing the shutter of a camera.

Usage

f.trigger.message(n = 1L, delay = 0)

Arguments

n

integer Number of pulses (flashes) to trigger per call.

delay

numeric Time in seconds to wait before displaying the message.

Note

When using this function, set an integration time that gives enough time for the manual triggering of the flash to reliably fall within the integration.
