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

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

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

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

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: 200 kHz isolated current-sense input with wide voltage input range up to 30V, compatible with totem-pole (push-pull) HTL drivers, 5V TTL/RS-422 differential line drivers, 5V CMOS 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!
