9.3.1
Ethernet message flag (E)
When the RTCC is used to trigger a camera, the image processing can
either be triggered by the acquisition of an image or by an Ethernet
message sent from the RTCC.
When a trigger is received it is assigned a unique tag number (an
incrementing number from 0 to 255). Using the
GT
Ethernet command
and the Ethernet message flag, the RTCC sends the tag number in a
message to the host computer to say that a trigger has occurred.
The message has the form:
Evt<output>,<tag>
Where
<output>
is the channel number from 1 to 16 and
<tag>
is a
number from 0 to 255. Multiple tag messages may be sent in one packet,
separated by a semi-colon (
;
).
9.3.2
FIFO flag (F)
The FIFO flag is used for systems where there can be more than one
product between the trigger point and reject gate. This is usually used with
the Resync flag, so that each product has its own pass/fail result.
If the FIFO flag is not set, then an output cannot be re-triggered until the
previous pulse has completed. Other triggers in this time are ignored.
If the FIFO flag is set, then multiple triggers are stored in the RTCC and a
pulse is generated for each trigger at the correct time.
