Dear Kalanga,

Who is the manufacturer of the camera, and what is the model number of the camera?  Most of the industrial firewire cameras will have a separate connection for the trigger input.

Hi Robert,

    thanks for your reply.Im using Basler camera and model no is A601f. You are right in that camera it has two ports. One is firewire port and another one is like ethernet port(but it is not a ethernet)i think  have to use that one only.But i dont  know what shoud  i do? if you have any idea please suggest me.

The Basler camera series use a 10 pin ethernet type connector.  A standard 8 pin ethernet cable won't give you connections for the two outer pins, but the important ones are in the center so you can get away with it.

Find a Basler manual on the internet to get the pinouts for the trigger input.  It will explain how to wire up a trigger signal to the camera.

The A601f camera manual can be located at http://www.graftek.com/pdf/Brochures/basler/A600fmanualNEW.pdf.  Section 2.5.1 begins the discussion of the camera's trigger input.
