Trigger Source Description
Encoder
An encoder can be connected to provide triggers in response to motion. Three encoder triggering
behaviors are supported. These behaviors are set using the Behavior setting.
Track Backward
A scan is triggered when the target object moves forward. If the target object moves backward, it
must move forward by at least the distance that the target travelled backward (this distance
backward is "tracked"), plus one encoder spacing, to trigger the next scan.
Ignore Backward
A scan is triggered only when the target object moves forward. If the target object moves backward, it
must move forward by at least the distance of one encoder spacing to trigger the next scan.
Bi-directional
A scan is triggered when the target object moves forward or backward.
