Picture Taking Notifications
If camera hardware trigger is being used, PicExpose and PicDone are
unreliable. Equivalent logic can be implemented in the job using Digital
Output Steps.
Change the Selected Camera
In the previous steps we showed how to acquire single images or live
video from your first GigE camera. If you are using more than one
camera, and want to check images from additional cameras, you have
two options:
1.
Add additional Snapshot Steps to your Job, and configure each to
connect to your other cameras.
2.
Simply reconfigure the current Snapshot step to use a different
camera.
Option # 1 goes beyond the scope of a “Getting Started” manual, please
refer to the Visionscape
®
Tools Reference Manual for more information
on building Step programs. We will explain option 2 here.
Select the snapshot step in the “Job List” window on the left side of the
main window:
