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
CoaXPress data stream events
CoaXPress host interface 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
10 I/O lines:
2 differential inputs (DIN)
2 singled-ended TTL inputs/outputs (TTLIO)
4 isolated inputs (IIN)
2 isolated outputs (IOUT)
NOTES:
Only 2 IIN and 1 IOUT lines are available on the EXTERNAL I/O connector.
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
TTLIO: High-speed 5V-compliant TTL inputs or LVTTL outputs, compatible with totem-pole LVTTL, TTL, 5V CMOS drivers or LVTTL, TTL, 3V CMOS receivers
IIN: Isolated current-sense inputs with wide voltage input range up to 30V, compatible with totem-pole LVTTL, TTL, 5V CMOS drivers, RS-422 differential line drivers, potential free contacts, solid-state relays and opto-couplers
IOUT: Isolated contact outputs compatible with 30V / 100mA loads
NOTE: IIN and IOUT lines provide a functional isolation grade for the circuit technical protection. It does not provide an isolation that can protect a human being from electrical shock!
Glitch removal filter available on all System I/O input lines
Configurable filter time constants:
for DIN and TTLIO lines: 50 ns, 100 ns, 200 ns, 500 ns, 1 µs

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.
Device Link Trigger tool (DLT): delivers an event on reception of a valid high-speed CoaXPress 2.0 connection trigger packet message from the remote device.
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, 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)
Determined by the selected firmware variant:
'1-camera': 8 LIN, 1 QDC, 2 DLT, 1 UAS, 2 DEL, 1 DIV, 1 MDV, 2 C2C
'2-camera': 8 LIN, 2 QDC, 4 DLT, 1 UAS, 2 DEL, 2 DIV, 2 MDV, 2 C2C
'1-camera, line-scan': 8 LIN, 1 QDC, 2 DLT, 1 UAS, 2 DEL, 1 DIV, 1 MDV, 3 C2C
'2-camera, line-scan': 8 LIN, 2 QDC, 4 DLT, 1 UAS, 2 DEL, 2 DIV, 2 MDV, 3 C2C
