Using Motion signals to trigger start of acquisition with RTSI , PCIe1430 PCI7344

Hello,

 

I have a problem to setup a simple task to integrate Motion and Vision using RTSI cable. 

 

I need to trigger 2 events:

Trigger#1 : to trigger the start of image acqusition

Trigger#2 : to trigger each line on linescan camera

 

The task for Trigger#2 is simple, i also implement it in 2 ways: 

Option (1) maping the Encoder signal to RTSI_0 so i can use it in the Trigger each line

Option (2) Using the Breakpoint Modulos of the Motion board to generate breakpoints signal every 500 counts and map it to RTSI_0

Both options works very good.

 

But my problem is that i want to use the signals from my motion board to trigger also the start of acqusition.

Since i have been told that i cant use the same signal to trigger both "Trigger each line" and "trigger start of imaq"

i can use the Breakpoint signals to trigger the star tof imaq.

 

My questions are:

 

Question 1:   How i can use a motion signal (such the "high speed capture" signal) to trigger the start of imaq by maping this signal to RTSI line?

 

Question 2:  Is there a way to programatically generate a signal on RTSI line and use it to trigger the start of imaq?

                    ( Let say the linescan camera waiting on RTSI_1 for trigger the start of imaq and when a digital input from my motion board is fired i will programatically generate a signal on the Motion Borad RTSI_1 and this signal will activate the trigger of start of imaq)

 

 

I also post this question in the Motion forum, i tough to look on the problem from the Motion point of view,

but i didnt get any answer that solve the problem. 

i dont want to double post my questions, so here is a link to question in the Motion forum:
