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).
9.2.7.9 Setting the encoder type and encoder mode
Workflow step: Data collection
The Expert visibility option is required to change the below encoder settings in the
Parameter editor.
Setting the encoder type
Set the encoder type in the GUI so that it matches the physical encoder that is used
for the camera setup (RS-422 or HTL). For information about the encoder types, see
"Power I/O connector", page 27.
NOTE
•
If the camera is programmed to use an RS-422 (5V) encoder, and an HTL (24V)
encoder is connected, warnings are printed in the GUI log window. The camera is
protected by protection circuits. Encoder pulses may be registered but the setup is
not recommended.
•
If the camera is programmed to use an HTL (24V) encoder, and an RS-422 (5V)
encoder is connected, no warnings are printed in the GUI and no encoder pulses
are registered.
To set the encoder type:
1. Open the Parameter editor.
2. Click the Digital IO Control category.
3. Set the Line Selector to EncoderAInput.
4. Set the Line Format to the correct encoder type. The Line24V option represents HTL.
Since encoder input B uses the same signal level as encoder input A, EncoderBInput is
automatically changed when EncoderAInput is changed, and vice versa.
Setting the encoder mode
Follow the steps below to set the encoder mode (four-phase or high-resolution).
For more information about the encoder modes, see "Triggering using an encoder",
page 46.
NOTE
High-resolution encoder mode works with both RS-422 (5V) and HTL (24V) encoders.
1. Open the Parameter editor.
2. Click the Encoder Control category.
3. Set the Encoder Mode to the desired encoder mode.
9.2.8 Visualizing 2D data
The Settings section in the Image workflow step contains visualization options for the
acquired 2D image data. The Settings section is located to the right of the image viewer
in the GUI.
