Synchronizing with the wizard
To help with parameter settings, Z-Expert provides a Synchronization wizard that sets parameters
in all included sensors to prepare them for acquisition. Only a few parameters need to be set by
the user.
Sequential acquisition settings
In
Multiplex
mode, profiler sensors are triggered in sequence. The only available settings are the
trigger rate, and the option between
Internal Trigger
or
External Trigger
. The wizard will determine
the exposure time and Master Sync Delay (Group Trigger Delay) to optimize acquisition given the
trigger rate. Master Sync Delay allows for messages to be received by the secondary (slave)
sensors. Typically, the wizard will set an equal period between acquisition of each sensor.
