Input value inTimer Integer 1 - 16 Timer.
Input value inTriggerSource Z4SightTimerTriggerSource Trigger source for the timer.
Input value inClockSource Z4SightTimerSource* Clock source for the timer.
Input value inDelaySource Z4SightTimerSource* Delay source for the timer.
Input value 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).
Input value 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).

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.

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

Complexity Level

This filter is available on Advanced Complexity Level.

Disabled in Lite Edition

This filter is disabled in Lite Edition. It is available only in full, FabImage Studio Professional version.
