Triggeractivation error in image acquisition toolbox

Hi, I tried to record a video using Image acquisition toolbox.

src.TriggerActivation threw an error as below:

Attempt to modify currently read-only or inaccessible property: TriggerActivation.

Use IMAQHELP(OBJ, 'TriggerActivation') for information.

Could anyone suggest? Thanks.

vobj = videoinput("gentl", 1, "Mono8");
src = getselectedsource(vidobj);
vobj.LoggingMode='disk';
src.AcquisitionFrameCount = 200;
src.AcquisitionFrameRateEnable = "True";
src.AcquisitionFrameRate = 50;
src.ExposureAuto = "Off";
src.TriggerMode = "On";
src.TriggerSelector = "AcquisitionStart";
src.TriggerSource = "Software";
src.TriggerActivation = 'RisingEdge';
src.ExposureTime = 15000;  
diskLogger = VideoWriter('C:\Users\user\Desktop\cameratest\test.avi', 'Grayscale AVI');
diskLogger.FrameRate = 50;
vobj.DiskLogger = diskLogger;
start(vidobj)
stop(vidobj)

I tried the suggested solution from the question. It does not solve the error I have.

Hi @HYZ,

I understand that you are getting error 'Attempt to modify currently read-only or inaccessible property: TriggerActivation' .

Some properties are only read-only in ‘videoinput’ object i.e. you cannot update those properties.

e.g. ‘Videoformat’ property is a read-only property and it is set by the ‘videoinput.’

Try this command after creating ‘videoinput’ object ‘vobj’ which will give you more information about the ‘triggeractivation’ property

imaqhelp(vobj,'Triggeractivation')

You can refer to the following page for more information about ‘videoinput’ and read-only properties.
