The application software can be notified of the occurrence of various events:

Standard event: the EVENT_NEW_BUFFER event notifies the application of newly filled buffers

A large set of custom events

Custom events sources:

I/O Toolbox events

Camera and Illumination control events

Each custom event is associated with a 32-bit counter that counts the number of occurrences

The last three 32-bit context data words of the event context data can be configured with event-specific context data:

Event-specific data

State of all System I/O lines sampled at the event occurrence time

Value of any event counter

20 I/O lines:

4 differential inputs (DIN)

NOTE: The number of I/O lines can be extended using I/O modules attached to the I/O EXTENSION connector.

Any I/O input lines can be used by any LIN tool of the I/O Toolbox

Selected pairs of I/O input lines can be used by any QDC tool of the I/O toolbox to decode A/B signals of a motion encoder

DIN: High-speed differential inputs, up to 5 MHz, compatible with ANSI/EIA/TIA-422/485 differential line drivers and complementary TTL drivers

The I/O Toolbox is a configurable interconnection of tools that generates events (usually triggers):

Line Input tool (LIN): edge detector delivering events on rising or falling edges of any selected input line.

Quadrature Decoder tool (QDC): a composite tool including:

A quadrature edge detector delivering events on selected transitions of selected pairs of input lines.

An optional backward motion compensator for clean line-scan image acquisition when the motion is unstable.

A 32-bit up/down counter for delivering a position value.

User Actions Scheduler tool (UAS): to delegate the execution of 'User Actions' at a scheduled time or encoder position. 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 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)

Determined by the selected firmware variant:

'1-camera': 8 LIN, 1 QDC, 1 UAS, 2 DEL, 1 DIV, 1 MDV, 2 C2C

'2-camera': 8 LIN, 2 QDC, 1 UAS, 2 DEL, 2 DIV, 2 MDV, 2 C2C

'1-camera, line-scan': 8 LIN, 1 QDC, 1 UAS, 2 DEL, 1 DIV, 1 MDV, 3 C2C
