Controlling/Outputting through Parallel Communication
549
GATE
Used to control the loading time of the DO signal to external devices.
ON for the time required for external devices to securely load the DO signal.
Set the output cycle so that the total output time is shorter than measurement interval (input interval
of STEP signal).
GATE signal is output only when the [Parallel judgement output] and [Parallel data output] are set in
the measurement flow, and the output process begins when the signal passes through the parallel
judgement output (parallel data output) point in the flow. Depending on the setting flow, GATE
output may be started when the BUSY signal is ON. Note that the OR signal and GATE signal do
not necessarily operate simultaneously. Example 2)
READY
ON when STEP signal can be input. When through images are being displayed, the READY signal
will turn to OFF, but the STEP signal is received. During the through display, determine whether or
not STEP input is allowed based on the BUSY signal.
Input signal
Signal
Function
STEP
Input measurement triggers from external devices such as optic switches, etc. Perform
measurement once synchronous with the STEP signal turning on (OFF
→
ON). Turn the STEP
signal ON for at least 0.5 ms.
A noise filter (filter initial setting value: 100 μs) is set in STEP input.
Reference
●
The following can be changed with regard to the READY signal.
●
Handling of ERROR signal when STEP signal is input during measurement
Setting Conditions Related to Operation during Measurement (p.344)
Important
●
When parallel continuous measurement is engaged and continuous STEP signal is input, switching of scene
group should be avoided. When this is performed, set "Unchecked" in "Save scene group on switch scene" in
either of the settings items below.

Continuous measurement
Important
●
Measurement is given priority when continuous measurement is being performed. As a result, the measurement
result display (overall judgement, image, judgement for each processing unit in the flow display, detailed results)
may not be updated.
When continuous measurement ends, the measurement results of the final measurement are displayed.
