52 • Operational Reference Genie Color Series-GigE Vision Camera
General Outputs: Settings via CamExpert
The Output Settings dialog box allows you to configure the event mode for both output 1 and output 2. Each
output can be set independently to one of the available event modes. A typical usage of output is to control a strobe
light in relation to the camera exposure. Select the output to configure by clicking on the Output 1 or Output 2
buttons located at the top of the dialog box. Use the Event mode drop-down list box to select the required event
mode.
The following event modes are available:
• Open (default)
• Close
• Strobe On: Start of Exposure (used for strobe pulse)
• Pulse On: Valid Trigger
• Pulse On: Invalid Trigger
• Pulse On: Start of Readout
• Pulse On: End of Readout
• Pulse On: End of Acquisition
• Pulse On: Input 1
• Pulse On: Input 2
When an event mode is selected, its trigger output schematic or signal timing diagram is displayed, as well as any
other additional parameters for the mode.
For most event modes, the trigger output signal can be set to either Active Open (that is high with the load
connected to a voltage source) or Active Closed (where current is drawn through the load). The output delay can be
set from 0 to 4 seconds, in increments of 1 µs. The pulse duration can be set from 100µs to 4 seconds, in increments
of 1 µs.
Open and Close Output Settings
You can open and close the output circuit using software rather than hardware events, to control external devices.
To control the output setting with Sapera LT see "
Output Control via Sapera LT or GigE Vision Compliant
