Strobe and General Outputs

Genie provides two sets of opto-coupled outputs (see "External Outputs" on page 92). These can be used as a strobe signal to control lighting or to generate programmable pulses when specific events are generated by the camera. They can also be set to a static state (close or open) by the application.

See "12-Pin Hirose Connector Signal Details" on page 90 for connector pinout and electrical information.

General Outputs: Settings via CamExpert

The Output Settings dialog box allows you to configure the event mode for both output 1 and output 2. Each output can be set independently to one of the available event modes. A typical usage of output is to control a strobe light in relation to the camera exposure. Select the output to configure by clicking on the Output 1 or Output 2 buttons located at the top of the dialog box. Use the Event mode drop-down list box to select the required event mode.

The following event modes are available:

Open (default)

Close

Strobe On: Start of Exposure (used for strobe pulse)

Pulse On: Valid Trigger

Pulse On: Invalid Trigger

Pulse On: Start of Readout

Pulse On: End of Readout

Pulse On: End of Acquisition

Pulse On: Input 1

Pulse On: Input 2
