Parameters

Name	Type	Range	Default	Description
ioState	Z4Sight_State&			Object used to maintain state of the function.
inDeviceID	Optional<const Z4SightSystemAndDeviceIdentifier&>		NIL	Device identification.
inEncoder	int	1 - 2		Encoder.
inBit0Source	int	0 - 63	1	Auxiliary input signal on which to receive bit 0 of the 2-bit Gray code.
inBit1Source	int	0 - 63	2	Auxiliary input signal on which to receive bit 1 of the 2-bit Gray code.
inOutputMode	Z4SightEncoderOutputMode::Type			Circumstances in which the rotary decoder should output a pulse.
inPositionTrigger	int			Rotary decoder's counter value upon which a trigger is generated.
inResetSource	Z4SightEncoderResetSource::Type			Signal source to use to reset the rotary decoder's counter to 0.
inResetCounter	bool			Reset the encoder counter value to 0 at the end of configuration.
inEnable	bool		True	Enable or disable the encoder.

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 FabImage 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.
