Member Enumeration Documentation

eDRIVER_MODE

enum VIB_NET::CameraTrigger::eDRIVER_MODE

strong

Output driver mode

Enumerator
PUSH_PULL	Push-Pull mode, both transistors are used.
EMITTER_FOLLOWER	Emitter-follower mode, only the upper transistor is used.
OPEN_COLLECTOR	Open-collector mode, only the lower transistor is used (the output signal is low-active)

eTRG_SOURCE

enum VIB_NET::CameraTrigger::eTRG_SOURCE

strong

Camera trigger source, used by Set() and SetAll()

Note

The VisionBox AGE-X1 doesn't have a Multiplexer and therefore uses different source signals than new hardware generations.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

CameraTrigger()

VIB_NET::CameraTrigger::CameraTrigger

(

)

Default constructor for the device object

The device must be opened with Open() before it can be used.

Member Function Documentation

Reset()

void VIB_NET::CameraTrigger::Reset

(

)

Resets the device to default settings.

See also VIB::CameraTrigger::Reset().

Set() [1/2]

void VIB_NET::CameraTrigger::Set	(	UInt32	Channel,
		eTRG_SOURCE	Source,
		Boolean	TrgPOff,
		Boolean	TrgPOn,
		Boolean	TrgNOff,
		Boolean	TrgNOn
	)

Sets trigger output for the specified channel

See also VIB::CameraTrigger::Set() for a description of the parameters.

Parameters

Channel	Channel number, 0 ... (NumberOfOutputs - 1)
Source	Trigger source signal
TrgPOff	High side switch activity for low input signal
TrgPOn	High side switch activity for high input signal
TrgNOff	Low side switch activity for low input signal
TrgNOn	Low side switch activity for high input signal

Example:

C#:

// turn Channel 0 on as push/pull
pCamTrig.Set(0, VIB_NET.CameraTrigger.eTRG_SOURCE.ON, false, true, true, false);

Set() [2/2]

void VIB_NET::CameraTrigger::Set	(	UInt32	Channel,
		eTRG_SOURCE	Source,
		eDRIVER_MODE	DriverMode,
		Boolean	Invert
	)

Sets trigger output for the specified channel

Parameters

Channel	Channel number, 0 ... (NumberOfOutputs - 1)
Source	Trigger source signal
DriverMode	Driver mode
Invert	Polarity

Example:

C#:

// turn Channel 0 on as push/pull
pCamTrig.Set(0, VIB_NET.CameraTrigger.eTRG_SOURCE.ON, VIB_NET.CameraTrigger.eDRIVER_MODE.PUSH_PULL, false);

SetAll()

void VIB_NET::CameraTrigger::SetAll	(	eTRG_SOURCE	Source,
		Boolean	TrgPOff,
		Boolean	TrgPOn,
		Boolean	TrgNOff,
		Boolean	TrgNOn
	)

Sets the trigger output of all lines

The function has the same behaviour as Set() excepting that all changes are done simultaneous.

Parameters

Source	Trigger source (eTRG_SOURCE)
TrgPOff	true and source = 0, high side switch -> on, else switch is off
TrgPOn	true and source = 1, high side switch -> on, else switch is off
TrgNOff	true and source = 0, low side switch -> on, else switch is off
TrgNOn	true and source = 1, low side switch -> on, else switch is off

Example:

C#:

// turn on, as PushPull
pCamTrig.SetAll(VIB_NET.CameraTrigger.eTRG_SOURCE.ON, false, true, true, false);
    
//stay on, is inverted
pCamTrig.SetAll(VIB_NET.CameraTrigger.eTRG_SOURCE.ON, true, false, false, true);
    
    
// stay on, as OpenDrain
pCamTrig.SetAll(VIB_NET.CameraTrigger.eTRG_SOURCE.ON, false, true, false, false);
    
// is the same as above(OpenDrain)
pCamTrig.SetAll(VIB_NET.CameraTrigger.eTRG_SOURCE.ON);
