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.

Line Scan Trigger Capability

Coaxlink supports both continuous roll scanning (to inspect infinite, continuously moving surfaces without losing lines)

and discrete target scanning (to capture images of targets moving in front of the camera).

(to capture images of targets moving in front of the camera).

– Triggers are used to initiate acquisition when the part is in position. 

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.
