(Timeout)

The time to wait for images to be retrieved.

Specifies how long the command waits for images to arrive from the camera, starting when the command starts to retrieve images.

A value of 0 specifies to only copy the images that have already been received by the camera driver. In this case nothing will be done if the camera is still waiting for the trigger signal, the exposure has not yet finished or the image transfer is still in progress.

If you want to wait for hardware triggers, the timeout has to include the exposure and image transfer time in addition to the time until the trigger signal.
