6 Counter & Timer

6.2.3

Timer Active, -Start and -End Signal

Timer Active

An asserted timer active signal indicates, that the timer has started counting the

configured duration period. The timer active signal is internally routed to the I/O control
block and can there be selected for output on the physical output line or on one of the
available leds.

Timer Start

The timer start is an event, which is generated, when the timer starts with the

timer duration period.

Timer End

The timer end is an event, which is generated, when the timer arrives its configured

timer duration value.

The timer start and end event signals can be used to trigger other blocks, like counter, timer,
acquisition, frame or exposure control.

6.2.4

Timer Reset

The timer can be reset by a software command. It performs a software reset of the timer
counter and starts the timer immediately (change to state timer active), when trigger source is
set to off; otherwise it goes into the state timer trigger wait.

6.2.5

Timer Trigger Source

The timer trigger source selects the events that will be the used to reset and to start the timer.
The following list of signals are available:

Off

Disables the timer trigger.

Acquisition Trigger

Starts with the reception of the acquisition trigger event.

Acquisition Start

Starts with the reception of the acquisition start event.

Acquisition End

Starts with the reception of the acquisition end event.

FrameTrigger

Starts with the reception of the frame trigger event.

Frame Start

Starts with the reception of the frame start event.

Frame End

Starts with the reception of the frame end event.

Frame Burst Start

Starts with the reception of the frame burst start event.

Frame Burst End

Starts with the reception of the frame burst end event.

Exposure Start

Starts with the reception of the exposure start event.

Exposure End

Starts with the reception of the exposure end event.

User Output 0 ... 7

Starts when the selected user output bit is set to 1.

Counter 0 ... 3 Start

Starts with the reception of the chosen counter start event.

Counter 0 ... 3 End

Starts with the reception of the chosen counter end event.

Timer 0 ... 3 Start

Starts with the reception of the chosen timer start event.

Timer 0 ... 3 End

Starts with the reception of the chosen timer end event.

Encoder

Starts with the reception of the encoder trigger event.
