noise in the range image, while a low threshold value makes it possible to detect
weak laser peaks.
5. Select laser line acquisition criteria in the Laser peak list:
°
Strongest locates the point with the highest intensity.
°
Top Most and Bottom Most locate the highest or lowest point with an intensity
higher than the value set by the Laser threshold parameter. See figure 22.
Figure 22: Laser line acquisition criteria.
6. Repeat the procedure if necessary.
7.5.3.1 Laser line exposure time
The optimal exposure time yields a gray line in the 2D sensor image representation. A
slightly brighter line is preferable to a slightly darker line. A solid white laser line indi‐
cates a too long exposure time and will result in an overexposed image. See the images
below for examples of 2D sensor images and Live 3D images depicting short exposure
time, normal exposure time, and long exposure time (from left to right).

7.5.4 Configuring the trigger settings
The Image Trigger section is used to determine when image acquisition starts.
b
Set the Image trigger parameter to None (Continuous) to acquire images continuously.
b
Select Object trigger to define a plane on a certain height. The image acquisition
starts when an object is above the specified plane.
b
Select Command Channel to trigger the image acquisition from the command chan‐
nel.
b
Set the parameter to Trigger on I/O 3 to trigger the TriSpector1000 by digital I/O via
a photoelectric switch or a PLC. The image acquisition can be delayed by time (ms)
or distance (mm) from the signal input.
The TriSpector1000 triggers on a rising edge. The trigger pulse must be at least 50
μs. The TriSpector1000 ignores succeeding pulses during image acquisition.
b
Click the Force trigger button above the image area to start an image acquisition. If
an acquisition is already ongoing, it will be interrupted and re-started.
