Trigger Settings
The trigger source is selected using the Trigger panel in the Scan page.
After specifying a trigger source, the Trigger panel shows the parameters that can be configured.
Parameter Trigger Source Description
Source All
Selects the trigger source (Time, Encoder, External Input, or
Software).
Frame Rate Time
Controls the frame rate. Select Max Speed from the drop-
down to lock to the maximum frame rate. Fractional values are
supported. For example, 0.1 can be entered to run at 1 frame
every 10 seconds.
Gate on External Input Time, Encoder External input can be used to enable or disable data acquisition
in a sensor. When this option is enabled, the sensor will
respond to time or encoder triggers only when the external
input is asserted.
See See Digital Input on page 533 for more information on
connecting external input to Gocator sensors.
Units External Input, Software Specifies whether the trigger delay, output delay, and output
scheduled command operate in the time.
The unit is implicitly set to microseconds with Time trigger
source. .
Trigger Delay External Input
Controls the amount of time or the distance the sensor waits
before producing a frame after the external input is activated.
This is used to compensate for the positional difference
between the source of the external input trigger (e.g.,
photocells) and the sensor.
Trigger delay is only supported in single exposure mode; for
details, see Exposure on page 83.
