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:
