Processing time • If the processing load for multiple
lines is high, there may be fluctuation
in measurement times.
• If data logging for multiple lines is to
the same drive, measurement times
may become longer.
• If the STEP signal is input at the exact
same time for lines 0 and 1, the mea-
surement on the other lines may be
delayed (roughly by the same amount
of the Camera Image Input processing
unit).
• If data logging for both Line 0 and Line
1 is to the same drive, measurement
times may become longer.
Number of Cameras The maximum number of Cameras is 8
for all lines.
The maximum number of Cameras is 2 for
all lines.
Error messages Error messages are the same for lines
0 to 7. If an error occurs on any of the
lines, an error message is displayed
and the ERROR signal is turned ON.
Error messages are the same for lines 0
and 1. If an error occurs on any of the
