SetDiscreteOutput

Configures output settings that are found in the Discrete I/O Settings dialog and the Output Details dialog. For more information, see Discrete I/O Settings and Configure Discrete Output Details.

Note:

When issuing this command, the In-Sight vision system must be Offline.
There are two options for enabling serial communication for the In-Sight 70xx - 74xx series vision system: using the Breakout cable or using the CIO-MICRO or CIO-MICRO-CC I/O module. When connected to the Breakout cable (and there is no connection to an I/O module), the vision system allows one discrete input line and one discrete output line to be configured as Serial Receive and Serial Transmit, respectively. For more information, see Enable Serial Communication: In-Sight 70xx - 74xx.
If an In-Sight vision system is being used in conjunction with a CIO-1400 or CIO-1450 I/O module, do not use either the SetDiscreteOutput or SetDiscreteOutputDelay commands to change a discrete output setting over the serial port. Doing so may cause the vision system to become unresponsive. Use the Discrete I/O Settings and Output Details dialogs to make the change, or send the commands over Telnet.
Use the Store Settings (TS) native mode command to save changes to the proc.set file. If not saved to the proc.set file, the changes will be lost after power-cycling the In-Sight vision system. For more information, see Store Settings.

Note:
- Serial Transmit is only available when connecting to an In-Sight 70xx - 74xx series vision system with In-Sight Explorer 4.7.1 or later, and using In-Sight 4.7.1 or later firmware.
- When the SetDiscreteOutput command is issued and Output Line 1 is set to Serial Transmit, the vision system determines if Input Line 1 is set to Serial Receive. If not, Output Line 1 is temporarily reset to the default output type for this line. Once the SetDiscreteInput command is issued, and Input Line 1 is set to Serial Receive, Output Line 1 is automatically set to Serial Transmit.

1 = Pulsed Output

Note: When Type is set to 13 (Strobe) and Pulse is set to 1, the Strobe/Light Control Trigger setting is set to Falling Edge.

In-Sight 9912	1ms	1ms	1000ms	10ms

Note:

When using the CIO-Micro or CIO-Micro-CC I/O module with supported vision systems, the minimum pulse length for general-purpose outputs is limited by the Update Time setting in the I/O Module Configuration dialog. For example, if the Update Time is 20ms, the minimum pulse length cannot be set below 30ms. For more information, see I/O Module Configuration.
For the In-Sight 7000 Gen2 series and 8000 series vision systems, the minimum pulse length of 1ms is only supported using In-Sight firmware version 5.5.0 and higher. If using an earlier version of firmware, the minimum pulse length is 10ms.
