VTIMEOUT system parameter VTIMEOUT system parameter Syntax MicroV+ PARAMETER VTIMEOUT = value V+ PARAMETER VTIMEOUT = value Description Sets a timeout value so that an error message is returned if no response is received following a vision command. The timeout value is expressed in seconds (for example, the value 0.15 = 150 ms). For the MicroV+ system, the default value is 0, which causes an infinite timeout. For the V+ system, the default value is 5 (seconds). Details For the MicroV+ system: • It is important to set a value other than the default value of 0. • VTIMEOUT = 0 sets the timeout to "infinite".
In this case, the MicroV+ system will wait indefinitely for a response from the vision system. For the V+ system, VTIMEOUT = 0 sets the timeout value to 16 ms (which is the minimum timeout that will be used). Example ; Get error message if there is no response after 200 ms. PARAMETER VTIMEOUT = 0.20 ACE Reference Guide, 18317-000 Rev A Page 48
