  • Page 39 GO-2401M-PGE / GO-2401C-PGE [Sequence Repetition] This parameter applies to Trigger Sequence patterns which include an index whose [Sequence ROI Next Index] is set to OFF. When the index whose [Sequence ROI Next Index] is set to OFF is finished executing, the value of Sequence Repetition (range = 1-255) is decremented internally.
  • Page 40 GO-2401M-PGE / GO-2401C-PGE Changing the value of [Command Sequence Index] to one of the other predefined indexes causes that index to be executed in response to subsequent triggers. This mode of operation enables users to develop applications that continually send new values to [Command Sequence Index] in response to external factors such as changing light conditions, different types or sizes of objects being inspected, or other factors.
  • Page 41: Delayed Readout [Acquisition Transfer Start]

    GO-2401M-PGE / GO-2401C-PGE Delayed Readout [Acquisition Transfer Start] Delayed readout enables images captured by a Frame Start trigger command to be stored inside the camera and read out on demand at a later time using Acquisition Transfer Start trigger. This can be especially useful when multiple cameras need to be triggered at the same time, but simultaneous readout of all images would overwhelm the available network bandwidth.
