(
	Z4Sight_State& ioState,
	atl::Optional<const avl::Z4SightSystemAndDeviceIdentifier&> inDeviceID,
	int inTimer,
	avl::Z4SightTimerTriggerSource::Type inTriggerSource,
	atl::Optional<avl::Z4SightTimerSource::Type> inClockSource,
	atl::Optional<avl::Z4SightTimerSource::Type> inDelaySource,

Parameters

Name	Type	Range	Default	Description
ioState	Z4Sight_State&			Object used to maintain state of the function.
inDeviceID	Optional<const Z4SightSystemAndDeviceIdentifier&>		NIL	Device identification.
inTimer	int	1 - 16		Timer.
inTriggerSource	Z4SightTimerTriggerSource::Type		Continuous	Trigger source for the timer.
inClockSource	Optional<Z4SightTimerSource::Type>		NIL	Clock source for the timer.
inDelaySource	Optional<Z4SightTimerSource::Type>		NIL	Delay source for the timer.
inDelay	int64	0 -	1000000L	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	int64	0 -	1000000L	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		False	Whether to invert the output signal or not.
inActivation	Z4SightTimerTriggerActivation::Type			Signal variation upon which to generate a timer trigger.
inEnable	bool		True	Enable or disable the timer.

Remarks

I/O device driver software

This filter is intended to cooperate with a Zebra 4Sight device using its vendor SDK. To be able to connect to the device, it is required to install Matrox MIL X SDK. Zebra 4Sight industrial PCs usually come with a preinstalled runtime license.

Add DLL path to system environment variable may be required.

Recommended Matrox MIL 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.
