Configuration Options
You can configure various parameters that allow you to use Opto Trigger 5 in different operation modes:
- You can configure the IN pins of port A to receive single-ended or differential incoming signals.
- You can configure the IN pins of port B to receive single-ended or differential incoming signals.
- You can configure if you want to use the IN pins of both ports in pull-up or pull-down mode.
- You can configure if the outgoing signals are inverted or not.
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. |
