Output Considerations
A hardware output is a signal with a fixed programmed pulse duration and fixed
programmed offset relative to the incoming Trigger signal. Set one output to PASS and
another to FAIL. If processing is not complete when the output decision is scheduled, a
FAIL output will result. This method guarantees a PASS or FAIL output at a predictable
offset for every trigger.

Spot processing
A software output is a signal with a fixed pulse output duration but has a variable offset
relative to the Trigger signal. The variability depends on the total processing time per
image. Set one output to PASS and another to FAIL. Software will determine which
output to pulse at the end of processing. This method guarantees a PASS or FAIL
output for every trigger, but does not guarantee timing.
