5.3.4 Frequency Converter Control
For line scan cameras, if the trigger mode is set to frame trigger or line trigger, you can
configure the parameters for converting the frequencies of hard triggering signals or shaft
encoder signals to the frame trigger or line trigger frequencies required by the camera.
Input Source
Select an input source for the frequency conversion.
Note
N/A indicates no signal source is selected.
PreDivider
Set a positive integer for the PreDivider.
Signal of the input source is first processed by the PreDivider, which divides the signal
frequency by the set integer and then sends the processed signal to the Multiplier.
Note
Signals with frequencies above 100 kHz must be processed by the PreDivider, because
the Multiplier can only accept signals within the range of 10 to 100 kHz. Periodic jitter of
the encoder signal is accepted.
Multiplier
Set a positive integer for the Multiplier.
The Multiplier multiplies the frequency of the signal received from the PreDivider by the
set integer, and then sends the processed signal to the PostDivider.
PostDivider
Set a positive integer for the PostDivider.
The PostDivider divides the frequency of the signal received from the Multiplier by the
set integer. The resulting signal will be used by the camera as the trigger signal.
