Triggering
6.5.1
General
The acquisition and output of measured values by the ILR2250 can be controlled using an external electrical trigger sig-
nal or commands. Digital outputs are affected by this. The measured value at the time of the trigger event is output with a
delay,
-
Triggering has no effect on the preselected measuring rate or on the time response, and therefore there are always 4
1 cycle (jitter) between the trigger event (level change) and the start of the output.
-
The
TRIG
input is used as the external trigger input.
-
Factory setting: no triggering, the sensor starts with the measured value output immediately after being switched on.
-
The pulse duration of the “Trigger in” signal is at least 2 ms.
The triggering of the measured value acquisition and output have the same time response.

Pulse / Edge / Software / None
Selection for the desired type of triggering.
Pulse = level triggering, Edge = edge triggering or pure Software
triggering
None: no triggering, continuous measured value output
Level

With edge triggering and High: rising edge
With edge triggering and Low: falling edge

For edge and software triggering, the number of measured values to
be output must be specified.

The following are used as triggering conditions:
Level triggering
with high level / low level.
Continuous measured value acquisition/output as long as the
selected level is present. Afterwards, the data acquisition/out-
put stops.
The pulse duration must be at least as long as one cycle.
The subsequent pause must also be at least as long as one
cycle.
