I/O Toolbox Tools
The I/O Toolbox is a configurable interconnection of tools that generates events (usually triggers) from input lines. The composition of the toolset is product- and firmware-dependent: 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. | 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. | 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). | 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.
