I revised my previous pull request to include the suggestions made.

In this version, properties of the camera triggering are set via values in the configuration XML.

Thanks for this.

The default value for trigger source is INTERNAL. So if the user does not specify a value in the configuration xml file, it will default to the behavior one would expect for a single camera system.

The default value for trigger_active is SYNCREADOUT. The default value for trigger_polarity is POSITIVE. These are the values that we prefer for our current multi-camera work.

If the trigger_source is INTERNAL, these values are ignored, so again these changes will not change the performance of single-camera setups that do not include these values in the configuration xml.

We have tested these changes with both a multi and single camera system, and they seem to be fine.

Great, thanks!
