 Prescaler Masks off input pulses by selecting a divisor.
USP

5. IOMUX
 a switch matrix
 connecting inputs and outputs with function modules
IOMUX

6. Debouncer
 against “Ringing”
» spikes / signal overshoots of external triggers
 with a “delay“
» a programmable period verifies the signal
input – STT

7. Prescaler
 masking off input pulses
 by applying a divisor
» 4-bit word  16 settings
input – STT

8. Schmitt Trigger
 High-Low filter
» triggering with a wide threshold
input – STT

9. Opto couppler
Trigger source and camera galvanically isolated
Available within the EXO, the SHR and the new HR serie
input – STT

10. Sequencer
 creating timing conditions
» based on an external trigger input.
 controlling
» internal functions
› exposure, …
» external devices
› actuators
› LED illumination
› other factory floor equipment
› triggering several other cameras.

11. Sequencer
programmable parameters
 Number of intervals – up to 16
 Duration of intervals – individual length
 Sensor exposure time – individually within each interval
 Signal timing – on strobe outputs
 Signal intensity – PWM for all strobe outputs
