SynView_ConfigureDigitalIO


Module: ThirdParty

Configures SynView digital IO.

Name Type Range Description
Input value
inDeviceID String* Tries to find the camera in all available IDs (UserID, VendorName, ModelName...)
Input value
inLineNumber Integer 1 - 32 I/O line for configuration
Input value
inLineInverter Bool* Invert the signal on the selected line
Input value
inLineDebounceDuration Real* Input line debounce duration in us (0 for disable debouncer)
Input value
inLineSource SynViewLineSource* Selects a device internal signal that should drive the output signal of the selected line.

Description

The output can be driven by toggling the value of the corresponding user output. To configure UserOutputValue use SynView_SetUserOutput filter.

To connect user output with digital output select userOutputX in parameter inLineSource.

Advanced output configuration

The output can be driven by a timer, started by an event (e.g. activation UserOutput, Frame Trigger). To active DigitalOutput by timer you need to set inLineSource to TimerXActive. 以下も参照してください。 SynView_ConfigureTimer, SynView Manual: Section 6.7.6 "Advanced output configuration".

Parameters inLineInverter and inLineSource can be set only for digital outputs.

Parameter inLineDebounceDuration can be set only for digital inputs.

The line mapping is fixed for all camera families - all PicSight and CheckSight models. It's briefly summarized in the following table:

I/O lines Mapped signals
Line1 - Line4 Optocoupler inputs
Line5 - Line8 Reserved
Line9 - Line12 Optocoupler outputs
Line13 - Line16 Reserved
Line17 - Line18 TTL inputs
Line19 - Line24 Reserved
Line25 - Line26 TTL outputs
Line27 - Line32 Reserved

Remarks

For convenience, this filter may be invoked in the main program loop, without significant impact on the performance.

Camera driver software

This filter is intended to cooperate with cameras using their vendor's SDK. In order to connect with the camera, it is required to install SynView SDK software with camera dedicated drivers.

SynView SDK can be downloaded from the following website: https://net-gmbh.com/en/machine-vision/products/software

To verify the driver installation, you can run SynView Explorer (in the directory where camera drivers where installed). If the camera was detected and you can see the view from the camera, you can use SynView camera SDK in Aurora Vision Studio.

Recommended SynView SDK version for Aurora Vision Studio usage is 1.03.010.

Camera identification

When there is only one camera connected, the field inDeviceID can be set to Auto. In this situation, the first available camera will be used.

inDeviceID can be used to pick one of multiple cameras connected to the computer. DeviceID can be set to:

  • UserID - User ID (also known as nickname) of the selected device,
  • VendorName - Name of the manufacturer of the device,
  • ModelName - Model name of the device,
  • DisplayName - Device display name,
  • IPAddress - Current IP address of the selected device (GigE Vision devices only),
  • MACAddress - MAC address of the selected device (GigE Vision devices only),
  • SerialNumber - String representation of camera's unique serial number.

Complexity Level

This filter is available on Basic Complexity Level.

Disabled in Lite Edition

This filter is disabled in Lite Edition. It is available only in full, Aurora Vision Studio Professional version.
