Selecting Capture Timing (Camera Trigger) - Panasonic PV500 User Manual

4.3.3 Selecting Capture Timing (Camera Trigger)

When using multiple cameras, images can be captured at separate timings by inputting a start signal to the
cameras. This is "Individual Trigger". On the other hand, the trigger starting image capturing with multiple
cameras simultaneously is "Common Trigger".
Processing image of "Individual Trigger"
(in the case of two-camera connection)
START 0-3 signals correspond to camera 0-3. After
capturing images of all cameras, checkers and
result output are executed.
To: Individual Trigger Timeout
If image capture of all connecting cameras is not
started after inputting the first START signal and
within the time of set timeout period, Timeout error
(ERROR0 signal output) will occur and the
inspection will be terminated.
1.
Set "Camera Trigger" in "Camera" window.
[Common] (default):
[Individual]:
[Detect Trigger (common)]:
2.
When you selected [Individual], select whether you use [Individual Trigger Timeout] or not.
If you select [Yes] (default), set a timeout period.
Timeout period value can be set within 1 to 10000 ms (default: 5000ms).
*1) When Live image is displayed, a delay time occurs until starting image capture after inputting the START
signal.
Decide the timeout period considering this delay time. Refer to page 382 for details.
Processing image of "Common Trigger"
(in the case of two-camera connection)
Inputting START 0 signal starts capturing an
image.
Although image capturing times are different when
connecting different types of cameras, checkers
and result output are executed after all cameras
have completed image capturing.
All cameras capture images at the same timing.
Each camera captures an image at individual timing.
All cameras capture images at the same timing. If Position Adjustment
No.0 is OK, other checkers are executed and results are output. Until
Position Adjustment No.0 becomes OK, image capturing and Position
Adjustment No.0 will be executed repeatedly.
