Gocator sensors can convert measurement decisions or software commands to digital output pulses,
which can then be used to output to a PLC or to control external devices, such as indicator lights or air
ejectors.
A digital output can act as a measurement valid signal to allow external devices to synchronize to the
timing at which measurement results are output. In this mode, the sensor outputs a digital pulse when a
measurement result is ready.
A digital output can also act as a strobe signal to allow external devices to synchronize to the timing at
which the sensor exposes. In this mode, the sensor outputs a digital pulse when the sensor exposes.
Each sensor supports two digital output channels. Refer to Coordinate Systems (page 43) for wiring
digital outputs to external devices.
To output measurement decisions:
1 Navigate to the Digital Output 0 or Digital 1 panel.
2 Set Event to Measurement
3
Select Assert Mode and decision sources that should be combined to determine the output.
