Introduction

The 2D Camera Output Signal Configuration tool is used to set the trigger timing and project associations for camera output lines. It is commonly used to drive external light sources, PLCs, or other devices that need to respond according to a timing sequence.

You can access the tool by selecting Camera  2D Camera Output Signal Configuration from the menu bar.

The main functions of this tool are as follows:

  • Define the associations between output signals and Step output results.

  • Set the output signal duration to ensure external devices complete their responses.

  • Centrally manage output lines in Manual control mode for easier debugging and troubleshooting.

Only output lines configured in Manual control mode are shown in this tool. If you do not see the target line, go to the 2D Camera Management tool and set the Output Mode of the corresponding line to Manual control first.

Configure 2D Camera Output Signals

Follow the steps below to configure 2D camera output signals:

  1. Set the output mode.

    In the 2D Camera Management tool, set the Output Mode of target line to Manual control under I/O Signal Settings > Output Signals.

  2. Open the configuration tool.

    Select Camera  2D Camera Output Signal Configuration from the menu bar to open the 2D Camera Output Signal Configuration tool, then select the target camera in Select camera.

  3. Configure the project trigger order (as needed).

    If the projects in the solution already contain a Step that uses the current camera, you do not need to configure the "Project trigger order" separately, as the system can automatically identify the related projects.

    To manually specify the projects to trigger, click Select project in the project trigger order tab, and add the projects that need to trigger output signals.

  4. Configure the output lines.

    Switch to the "Output line configuration" tab and configure the output lines Output delay and Output duration, then select the project, Step, and Step port to associate with.

  5. Save and verify.

    Click OK to save the configuration. After running the project, confirm that the output signals are triggered as expected.
