Trigger Settings
Item
Description
Source
Select the trigger source from GPIO, Device Trigger, Serial, PLC, TCP/IP Auto(Self), Test Trigger
Job Mode
Select the Job Mode between Single Shot, Level Continuous, Series (Burst), Periodic Single Shot, Continuous, Presentation
Show Image
Enable to configure Show Image settings.
When enabled, the device sends the mages back to Aurora Focus. This takes cycle time. For the faster job times, the frequency of images being sent can be reduced or disabled by configuring these settings.
Show Image Mode
Determine the method to update Shown Images.
Update Every
Determine how frequently shown images are updated per inspection.
Triggered Image Buffering
Buffer images for triggers received while a job is in progress.
Maximum Image Queue Size
Determine the maximum number of images queued before images are dropped from the queue.
Drop Mode
Determine the approach to drop images when the queue is full.
Acquisition Settings determine the configuration used to capture images with the device.

Gain Factor
Use this slider to adjust the sensor gain factor from 0 to 100.
Focus
Use this slider to adjust the focus length.
Focus Unit
Select Millimeter, Inch, or Dioptor to configure the focus measurement units on the device.
Depending on the hardware version of your device,
Millimeter
and
Inch
measurements are available in addition to
Diopter
. While the millimeter and inch distance values calculated in the application may slightly differ from the real-world distance value, this does not impact the device’s performance.
Aiming Configuration
Enabling this feature projects an aiming pattern onto the surface where the camera is pointing, helping to position the camera by identifying the focal point of the field of view.
Internal Illumination
This setting is only available with Unrestricted USB Power, PoE, and 24V external power.
Select the Light Intensity (0-10V), color (red, white, green, IR), and quadrant (top, bottom, left, right) of the 360° LED light.
Light Intensity
Use the slider to increase light intensity by sliding to the right.
  • Minimum: 1
  • Default: 4
  • Maximum: 10
Torch Mode
When enabled, the internal lights of the device are powered with static DC voltage with no strobing or overdrive.
Torch mode offers dimmer illumination, but allows for extended lighting durations.
This can be helpful for use cases that do not have movement and necessitate an extended exposure time.
Red Light
  • Top: enable this setting to use the top illuminator on the device.
  • Bottom: enable this setting to use the bottom illuminator on the device.
  • Right: enable this setting to use the suitable illuminator on the device.
  • Left: enable this setting to use the left illuminator on the device.
External Illumination
Internal and External illumination can be activated simultaneously on FS42 devices while connected to a 24V DC power supply.
Select the Light Intensity (0-10V).
Light Intensity
This controls the analog voltage pin on the Analog Output Pin.
  • Minimum: 1
  • Default: 8
  • Maximum: 10
