NOTE
In the Image workflow step, select the Simulate scatter window checkbox to visualize the
scatter profile for each column along the laser line. The visualization function can
be used to evaluate the effect of each scatter parameter on the scatter data. See
"Visualizing 2D data", page 66 for details.
9.2.7.7 Enabling HDR imaging
Workflow step: Image, Data collection
To enable HDR imaging:
1. Open the Parameter editor and select the AcquisitionControl category.
2. Set MultiSlopeMode to PresetSoft, PresetMedium or PresetAggressive.
°
PresetSoft increases the dynamic range by a factor ~2.
°
PresetMedium increases the dynamic range by a factor ~6.
°
PresetAggressive increases the dynamic range by a factor ~15.
NOTE
Using HDR affects the maximum exposure time:
•
In Areascan (2D) mode, the maximum exposure time for PresetSoft, PresetMe‐
dium and PresetAggressive is about 16, 40 and 100 ms, respectively.
•
In Linescan (3D) mode, the maximum exposure time for PresetSoft, PresetMedium
and PresetAggressive is about 4,10 and 26 ms, respectively.
9.2.7.8 Setting triggering parameters
Workflow step: Image, Data collection
Open the Parameter editor and go to the AcquisitionControl category to adjust the trigger‐
ing settings. For information about the triggering concepts, see "Triggering modes",
page 45.
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.
NOTE
When acquiring profiles based on the line trigger input signal, the time from line trigger
to exposure start is 3 - 5 microseconds even if TriggerDelay is set to 0. The delay is due to
debounce and deglitch filtering on the line trigger input.
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.
