•
Strobe: This signal is used to trigger the strobe flash unit (if used). The
signal occurs within 1 ms after the Color CVIM system receives a trigger
input signal.
You can assign the Strobe function to only one output.
•
Duration (n)ms: From 1msec to 2000msec. This value determines the
pulse duration, in milliseconds (and with an accuracy of
±
5 milliseconds),
of all pulse–type signals. A setting of zero means the signal will remain in
its present state until updated by a subsequent inspection.
Note: The output duration may vary if subsequent inspections occur before
the specified output duration has elapsed.
In your application, the function and tool assignment(s) for each output line
will of course depend on the specific requirements of your production
equipment.
You will find a full–page, blank copy of the planning sheet on the last page
of this chapter. We suggest that you do not mark that page, but use it instead
as a copy master, and use the copies to prepare your output line plans.
Keep in mind that a completed planning sheet can serve also as a record of
your output line usage. You may find it desirable to store your filled–out
planning sheets in a file folder or loose leaf binder.
