AILSystem_ConfigureTimer

Module:	ThirdParty

Configures the timer.

Name	Type	Range	Description
inDeviceID	AILSystemAndDeviceIdentifier *		Device identification.
inTimer	Integer	1 - 16	Timer.
inArmEnable	Bool		Specifies if timer arming is enabled or not.
inArmActivation	AILTimerTriggerActivation		Specifies timer arm activation signal
inArmTriggerSource	AILArmTimerTriggerSource *		Sets which input signal will arm the timer, if timer arming is enabled.
inTriggerSource	AILTimerTriggerSource		Trigger source for the timer.
inTriggerOverlap	AILTimerTriggerOverlap		Specifies Trigger overlap mode
inClockSource	AILTimerSource *		Clock source for the timer.
inDelaySource	AILTimerSource *		Delay source for the timer.
inDelay	Long		Delay between the timer trigger and the active portion of the timer output signal (in ns for clock source, in the number of counts for the rest).
inDuration	Long		Duration for the active portion of the timer output signal (in ns for clock source, in the number of counts for the rest).
inInvert	Bool		Whether to invert the output signal or not.
inActivation	AILTimerTriggerActivation		Signal variation upon which to generate a timer trigger.
inEnable	Bool		Enable or disable the timer.

Remarks

I/O device driver software

This filter is intended to cooperate with Zebra 4Sight devices, Zebra Indio I/O Cards and Zebra Concord Frame Grabbers using their vendor SDK. To be able to connect to the device, it is required to install Zebra AIL X SDK (Lite or Full version). Zebra 4Sight industrial PCs usually come with a preinstalled runtime license.

Add DLL path to system environment variable may be required.

Recommended Zebra AIL X SDK version for Aurora Vision Studio usage is V22H1 (10.60.0776).

Device identification

Device field can be used to specify the number (rank) of the target board of the specified system type. Device can be set to:

DEFAULT - Specifies the default board. The default board is set in the MILConfig utility.
DEVn - Specifies the device number (rank) of the board (where 0 <= n <=15).

System field can be used to specify the system type. System can be set to:

HOST - Specifies the default build-in system like IO in industrial PC.
CONCORD - Specifies the IO system from Concord framegrabber.
INDIO - Specifies the IO system from Concord IO Card.

Note: It is strongly recommended to set the appropriate System parameter to avoid communication issues.

This filter allows to configure one of the built-in timers.

Warning:All tools applied to a specific device or file should be managed within a single thread to ensure centralized tracking, traceability, and consistency throughout the process.

Complexity Level

This filter is available on Advanced Complexity Level.
