Precautions for Correct Use
• In the following cases, the system operates in Non-Multi-input mode, regardless of the set-
tings for Mode.
- Camera Image Input HDR or Camera Image Input HDR Lite is used.
- Multiple Input image processing items are used in one Multi-trigger Imaging Task block.
- FZ-SQ££££ camera is used with its light ON.
- Input image processing item is inserted outside of the range between Multi-trigger Imaging
and Multi-trigger Imaging End processing items.
• There are restrictions below when FZ-FQ££££ camera is used with its light ON.
- All Camera Image Input processing items operate with the settings for the Camera Image
Input of the first Multi-trigger Imaging Task in the flow.
- The system operates in Non-Multi-input mode. (It takes longer time to turn ON the Ready
signal).
- When the light of FZ-FQ££££ camera is OFF, the camera operates in the same way as
other camera does.

About Multi-input Function (Multi-trigger Imaging)

The Multi-input function allows sequential high-speed image input. Next STEP signal can be received
when the Input image is completed.
Multi-input function can be used with Multi-trigger Imaging processing. Refer to the following applica-
tion examples of Multi-trigger Imaging.
• Multi-trigger Imaging Flow Example:
10 - 22
Set value
[Factory default]
•
[Multi-input] Set the processing mode of Multi-trigger Imaging Task.
•
•
Non-Multi-input Multi-input:
Select this if Multi-input mode is used in the Multi-trigger
Imaging Task.
The Camera setting for the Input image processing item of
the first Multi-trigger Imaging Task is applied to that for oth-
er Input image processing items that are executed in Multi-
trigger Imaging Tasks.
•
Non-Multi-input:
Cameras operate according to their own settings.
The Camera setting for the Input image processing item of
the Multi-trigger Imaging Task is applied to each execution
of Input image processing items.
Because Camera setting is executed at each execution of
Input image preprocessing item, the time that READY sig-
nal stays OFF becomes longer by several ms to several
tens of ms compared with that in Multi-input mode.
1 to 60 [10] [sec] Set the time for timeout of Multi-trigger Imaging Task block.
It is a wait time between a Multi-trigger Imaging Task and the
next one.
When a STEP signal is not input within the timeout time after
the READY signal turns ON, the Multi-trigger Imaging unit
judgment will be NG.
