Configuration Options

You can configure various parameters that allow you to use Opto Trigger 5 in different operation modes: 

You set the individual parameters via the DIP switches located directly on the trigger board.

 

Configuration via Software

 

When connected to microEnable 5 marathon Frame Grabbers, the configuration can be programmed by software using the command line tool gpiotool.exe (see Configuration via Software). Programming by software overrides the DIP switch setting.

   

The LEDs on the board inform you which settings are active.

 

 

DIP Switches Position

 

The software configuration always overrides the position of the DIP switches. Therefore, the position of the DIP switches on the board may not represent the actual setting. To know which settings are active, always rely on the LEDs.
