VBAI settings for image snapshot

What settings do I need to do if my application only requires 1 snapshot every 3 minutes? Currently I have 4 frames/sec which I really don't need. Can I trigger GigE camera on demand and take only 1 sample rather than scanning all the time.
 
Thanks.

Hello test_man,

There are two methods that I would suggest especially if you are fairly new to the Vision Builder AI software.  If you can externally trigger your camera, you can set up a trigger signal to send every three minutes.  Another option is to use software timed acquisition, by putting in a delay.  The time delay function can be found in the "Use Additional Tools" tab.  With software timed, it should be noted that you will be relying on the OS clock.  I hope this helps get you started.
