Example: Time + Conveyor
Time triggering can be used instead of encoder
triggering to perform profile measurements at a
fixed frequency.
Measurement spacing will be non-uniform if the
speed of the conveyor varies while the object is
being measured.
It is strongly recommended to use an encoder
with transport-based systems due to the
difficulty in maintaining constant transport
velocity.
Example: External Input + Conveyor
External input triggering can be used to
produce a snapshot for profile measurement.
For example, a photocell can be connected as
an external input to generate a trigger pulse
when a target object has moved into position.
An external input can also be used to gate the
trigger signals when time or encoder triggering
is used. For example, a photocell could generate
a series of trigger pulses as long as there is a
target in position.
Example: Software Trigger + Robot Arm
Software triggering can be used to produce a
snapshot for profile measurement.
A software trigger can be used in systems that
use external software to control the activities of
system components.
Trigger Settings
The trigger source is selected using the Trigger panel in the Scan page.
