Also, if a maximum line rate camera trigger source is a high jitter shaft encoder, the parameter
CORACQ_PRM_LINE_TRIGGER_AUTO_DELAY can be used to automatically delay line triggers to
avoid over-triggering a camera, and thus not miss a line. Note that some cameras integrate this
feature. See also the Acquisition Events “Line Trigger Too Fast” that can be enabled when using the
‘auto delay’ feature.
The example figure below shows shaft encoder signals with high jitter. If the acquisition is
triggered when phase B follows phase A, with jitter present phase B may precede phase A. Use of
the Shaft Encoder Direction parameter will prevent false trigger conditions.

CVI/CCF File Parameters Used
Shaft Encoder Enable = X, where:
•
If X = 1, Shaft Encoder is enabled
•
If X = 0, Shaft Encoder is disabled
Shaft Encoder Pulse Drop = X, where:
•
X = number of trigger pulses ignored between valid triggers
Shaft Encoder Pulse Multiply = X, where:
•
X = number of trigger pulses generated for each shaft encoder pulses
Shaft Encoder Pulse Drop/Multiply Order = X, where:
•
If X = 1, the drop operation will be done first, followed by the multiplier operation
•
If X = 0 or 2, the multiplier operation will be done first, followed by the drop operation
Shaft Encoder Direction = X, where:
•
X = 0, Ignore direction
•
X = 1, Forward steps are detected by pulse order A/B (forward motion)
•
X = 2, Forward steps are detected by pulse order B/A (reverse motion)
Shaft Encoder Level = X, where:
•
X = 1, TTL
•
X = 2, RS-422

Reference Manual (OC-SAPM-APR00).
