A 6.3.1.3 Synchronization
SYNC NONE|SLAVE|MASTER|MASTER_ALT TERMON|TERMOFF
Setup of type of synchronization.
- NONE: No synchronization
- SLAVE: Sensor is slave and expects the synchronous pulses of a different optoNCDT 2300.
- MASTER: Sensor is master, that is, it outputs the synchronization pulses.
- MASTER_ALT: Sensor is master, that is, it outputs the synchronization pulses with every second image. Both sensors measure
alternately, for example, thickness measurement with two sensors on transparent material.
Setting the timing of synchronous / trigger input:
- TERMON: Timing (type 120 OHM)
- TERMOFF: No timing
The SYNC command always expects two parameters. In the operation modes MASTER and MASTER_ALT the second parameter is
not evaluated.
As an alternative the synchronization connections are inputs or outputs, that is, it is important, that only one of the sensors is switched
on master and the other/ the others is/ are switched on slave. In addition, the synchronous input is also used as a trigger input for the
edge and level triggering, see Chap. 7.6.1.
A 6.3.1.4 Booting the Sensor
RESET
The sensor is restarted.
