Take snap from NI Smart Camera without trigger while the camera is in the triggered mode

I'm using NI Smart Camera 1722 in 'triggered mode'. My task is to take a snapshot on the first trigger and then take two more snapshots after some calculated time. But the problem is that I have to take these two snapshots without using trigger. I have tried my best but couldn't find a way to "take snap without trigger while the camera is running in triggered mode". Your help shall be appreciated.

Hi Akhtar_Hanif, 

 

Depending on the timing you need, you should be able to do the second and third snap from a software timed source. You can send a software trigger using the IMAQ property node Send Software Trigger.
