Possible user actions include setting low/high/toggle any bit of the User Output Register or generation of any User Events. * Delay tool (DEL): to delay up to 16 events from one or two I/O toolbox event sources, by a programmable time or number of motion encoder ticks (any QDC events). * Divider tool (DIV): to generate an event every nth input events from any I/O toolbox event source. * Multiplier/divider tool (MDV): to generate m events every d input events from any I/O toolbox event source. * The 'Input Tools' (LIN, QDC, DLT and UAS) can be further processed by the 'Event Tools' (DEL, DIV and MDV) to generate any of the following "trigger" events: * The "cycle trigger" of the Camera and Illumination controller * The "cycle sequence trigger" of the Camera and Illumination controller * The "start-of-scan trigger" of the Acquisition Controller (line-scan only) * The "end-of-scan trigger" of the Acquisition Controller (line-scan only) |
