PLC inputs of VCBSC40xx and VC4xxx Smart Cameras: faster triggering
I use one of the PLC inputs to trigger my camera. But picture taking has a jitter of ±10 milliseconds. Why is that so?
The function inPLC() checks the system variable PLCIN, which is only updated every 10 milliseconds. To avoid this the corresponding hardware register can be read directly using one of the functions of the files linked here.
Please make sure to be logged in to be able to download the files.
These functions are integrated to the operating system from version 5.26.
