Operational Reference Genie HM-HC Series-GigE Vision Camera
Strobe and General Outputs
Genie provides two sets of opto-coupled outputs (see " External Outputs " on page 111 ). 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 108 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.


