External Trigger Level
Important: Level and Edge apply to the active logic state (Positive or Negative)
that exists while the object is in a read cycle, between the rising edge and falling
edge. Rising edge is the trigger signal associated with the appearance of an object.
Falling edge is the trigger signal associated with the subsequent disappearance of the
object
Definition: External Trigger Level allows the read cycle to begin when a trigger
(change of state) from an external sensing device is received. The read
cycle endures until the object moves out of the sensor range and the
active trigger state changes again.
Usage: This mode is effective in an application where the speeds of the convey-
ing apparatus are variable and the time the scanner spends scanning
each object is not predictable. It also allows the user to determine if a
noread has occurred.

Initiate Read Cycle:
Object # 1, moving in front of the
detector beam, causes a change in the
trigger state, initiating the read cycle.
End Read Cycle:
The same object, moving out
of the detector beam, causes
another change in the trigger
state, ending the read cycle.
Associated waveforms assume
External Trigger State is set
to Positive.
