8.2.5.6 Setting triggering parameters
Workflow step: Image, Data collection
Open the Parameter editor and go to the AcquisitionControl category to adjust the triggering
settings. For information about the triggering concepts, see "Triggering modes",
page 32.
Enabling frame triggering:
1. Set the TriggerSelector parameter to FrameStart.
2. Set the TriggerMode parameter to On.
✓
The camera will acquire frames based on the triggering source specified by the
TriggerActivation parameter.
3. Follow the steps in the Enabling line triggering section below to acquire profiles
based on encoder input or line trigger signal input, or in the Enabling free-running
section to acquire profiles with a regular time interval.
Enabling line triggering:
1. Set the TriggerSelector parameter to LineStart.
2. Set the TriggerMode parameter to On.
3. Set the TriggerSource parameter:
°
To acquire profiles based on encoder input, select Encoder.
°
To acquire profiles based on the line trigger input signal, select LineTriggerIn‐
put.
Enabling free-running:
1. Set the TriggerSelector parameter to LineStart.
2. Set the TriggerMode parameter to Off to acquire profiles with a regular time interval.
3. To set the acquisition rate:
°
For 3D images, adjust the AcquisitionLineRate parameter.
°
For 2D images, adjust the AcquisitionFrameRate parameter.
Enabling 2D image triggering:
1. Set the TriggerSelector parameter to AreascanFrameStart.
2. Set the TriggerMode parameter to On.
For 2D image triggering, the encoder input is always used as trigger source (Trigger‐
Source = Encoder).
8.2.6 Collecting 3D data
Workflow step: Data collection
1. Click Start to start the collection of 3D image data.
2. To adjust the number of profiles in each grabbed 3D image, set RegionSelector to
Scan3dExtraction1 and edit the Height parameter.
3. To take a snapshot of the 3D image, click Snapshot.
✓
The Evaluation view window opens and shows a 3D view of the image.
