There are three outputs (Output 1, Output 2, Output 3) that can be assigned to report inspection status.
Note: Outputs only function when a camera is connected.
Digital Outputs can be configured for all three outputs on the Digital Outputs tab of the Inspection Outputs tool.
When an output is connected to the state of a tool or to the overall inspection, you have the option of changing the behavior of the output via Pulse Mode. Output 1 is connected to the "Inspection Passed" state in the example below. This brings up the Mode dropdown menu.
Latched: This is the default. The output state is set at the end of the inspection cycle, and that state will remain latched until the end of the next inspection cycle when this output is updated again.
Pulsed: The output state is set at the end of the inspection cycle and a timer is started. When the timer expires, the output is reset to its default state (Off if “Active High” is selected in the State dropdown menu, On if “Active Low” is selected). When Pulsed is selected in the Mode dropdown menu, a new “Pulse Width” parameter becomes visible as shown in the example below. This parameter allows you to set the width of the pulse in milliseconds. Minimum pulse width is 1 millisecond. Maximum pulse width is 10,000 milliseconds (10 seconds).
When an output is connected to the state of a tool or to the overall inspection, you have the option of changing the active state of the output via the State setting.
Active High: The normal state of the output is open (low), and it transitions to a closed (high) state whenever it is activated.
Active Low: The normal state of the output is closed (high), and it transitions to an open (low) state whenever it is activated.
