# Encoder Control

For line scan cameras, if the trigger mode is set to line trigger, you can configure the encoder signal sources for triggering.

Encoder Selector

  Select an encoder.

Encoder Source A/B

  Set the signal source A and B respectively for the encoder.

  Note:

  It is recommended that you select different sources for A and B. If they are set to the same source, the shaft encoder will not output signal.

Encoder Trigger Mode

  Select the triggering direction of the signal sources from Any Direction, Forward Only, and Backward Only.

Encoder Counter Mode

  Select a counting mode for the counter of the encoder from Ignore Direction, Follow Direction, and Backward Direction.

Encoder Counter

  (Read Only) Displays the number of triggered signals counted by the encoder counter in real time.

Encoder Counter Max

  Set the maximum value allowed for the encoder counter.

  When the value displayed by Encoder Counter reaches the set maximum value during counting, Encoder Counter will be automatically cleared when the next valid signal is received, and the counting will start again. Encoder Counter can also be cleared manually via Encoder Counter Reset.

Encoder Counter Reset

  Click Execute to reset Encoder Counter to 0.

Encoder Max Reverse Counter

  Set the maximum value allowed for the reverse counter of the encoder to allow the camera to not output images until the object returns to the starting position in the forward direction.

Encoder Reverse Counter Reset

  Click Execute to reset the count of the reverse counter to 0.
