Sensor Tools
Trigger F5 Acquires one new image from the active In-Sight vision system.
Repeating Trigger   Acquires images continuously. To compensate for different lighting conditions, the In-Sight vision system automatically adjusts exposure time after each acquisition. The vision system sets the interval in milliseconds, 0 to 10,000, the default is 500. The delay depends on the image processing time of the current job. For example, when the delay parameter is set to 5,000 milliseconds, the In-Sight vision system acquires an image every 5,000 milliseconds, provided the job completes the image processing within 5,000 milliseconds. If the job does not process the image on time, the In-Sight vision system acquires an image when the image processing is complete.
