Saving the images when ximea camera is on trigger mode

[William Nguyen]

Normally when the camera is on “off” mode (not trigger), you would use camera.acquire() to take images and use a loop to take a set number of images. However, I’m using the quantum composer to send 20 bursts for the camera to take 20 images. How would you make the camera save these individual images when triggered? Is there a way to add some sort of counter whenever the camera receives a trigger/signal so then I can use this to save the image like 'angle5.image1.tiff”, etc? I used a loop with camera.acquire() initially but I realised this manually triggered the camera (not quantum composer)

On this site https://itom.bitbucket.io/plugindoc/plugins/grabber/ximea.html#image-acquisition-and-frame-burst, it says:

If you change trigger_mode to anything else than Off and set trigger_selector to frame_burst_start (2), it is possible to acquire a series of frames after the software or hardware trigger impulse. This can be adjusted using the parameter frame_burst_count.

I’m currently using rising edge as my trigger. How would I go about saving the series of frames acquired? I want to save each frame as its own tiff file in a specified directory. I’m guessing we can use something similar to itom.filter()? Thank you
