Area Scan Trigger Function

– Triggers are used to initiate acquisition when a part is in place. Hardware triggers come from Coaxlink’s

I/O lines.

Software triggers are from the application.

– Controllable delay triggers to control the point at which image acquisition is delayed.

– Trigger extraction feature allows certain triggers to be skipped.

– Camera exposure control allows the application to control the exposure time of the camera.

– When the system starts to acquire images, the Coaxlink capture card generates a signal at

an appropriate point in time to control the lighting equipment connected to the output.

Hardware triggers are from the motherboard I/O lines. Software triggers come from the application.

– Once initiated, the acquisition will continue indefinitely (for rolling the network):

– Continue indefinitely (for rolled-net monitoring applications)

– continue for a programmable number of lines (to acquire a target image of known length)

– continue until an end trigger signal is received (to acquire variable length target images)

– Controllable delay trigger to delay the start of acquisition by a programmable number of lines.
