### Lighting Mode

Allows you to select between Off, On, Strobe, Power Strobe, or External Strobe. Power Strobe mode is limited to a maximum 1 ms pulse width, as with Omron Microscan's NERLITE Smart Series Illuminators. Pulse width is the time between the leading edge and trailing edge of a single pulse of illumination.

Lighting Mode set to OFF – The internal or expansion lighting and external strobe output are disabled. All lighting is turned off. All digital outputs can be used by the vision job.

Lighting Mode set to ON – Based on the Lighting Select option, the internal or expansion lighting is enabled. The lighting will be on continuously. All digital outputs can be used by the vision job.

Lighting Mode set to Strobe or Power Strobe – Based on the Lighting Select option, the internal or expansion lighting is enabled and will be on during the image exposure time. Once the image exposure is complete, the light will be off. All digital outputs can be used by the vision job.

Lighting Mode set to External Strobe - The internal or expansion lighting are disabled. The digital output selected in External Strobe Control, will be ON during the exposure time. Output 3 is the default selection in the External Strobe Control. Once the image exposure is complete, the digital output will be OFF. This provides the capability to control an external strobe that is synchronized with the image acquisition. This output is no longer available for use elsewhere in the job.

Precautions for Correct Use: Power Strobe does not function with the rolling shutter cameras. Power Strobe limits the exposure to a maximum value of 1000 µsec.
