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.
