NOTE: The number of I/O lines can be extended using I/O modules attached to the I/O EXTENSION connector.

• Any I/O input lines can be used by any LIN tool of the I/O Toolbox
• Selected pairs of I/O input lines can be used by any QDC tool of the I/O toolbox to decode A/B signals of a motion encoder
• The LIN and QDC tools outputs can be further processed by the other tools (DIV, MDV, DEL) of the I/O toolbox to generate any of the following “trigger” events:
  • The “cycle trigger” of the Camera and Illumination controller
  • The “cycle sequence trigger” of the Camera and Illumination controller
  • The “start-of-scan trigger” of the Acquisition Controller (line-scan only)
