Measurement (Handshaking OFF)
When handshaking is set to OFF, the ZFX-C outputs measurement results to the external device without
synchronizing communications. Monitor the ZFX-C’s GATE signal from the external device and read the
measurement results at the external device while the ZFX-C’s GATE signal is ON.
Trigger Measurement
T1:
Trigger input time
Set to ON for at least 0.5 ms.
T2:
Measurement time
This time is "image input" + "measurement". This time can be changed to only "image
input" or "image input" + "measurement" + "display".
T3:
Gate ON delay
This is the time to wait until stable output data can be obtained. This time can be
changed.
T4:
Gate ON time
This is the time required for the external device to capture output data from the Controller.
This time can be changed.
T5:
Output cycle
This is the interval in which the DO signal state changes. This time can be changed.
T6:
Total output time
This time is equivalent to "output cycle (T5) x number of output data items". Input the trig-
ger at an interval longer than this time. When the total output time is longer than T2, non-
output data accumulates in the Controller as the next measurement is executed before
measurement results are output. When the Controller becomes filled up with this non-out-
put data, data can no longer accumulate in the Controller. When this happens, output of
non-output data continues, and the next measurement is no longer possible until queued
data has finished accumulating.
