Here the RamperPro acts like a DragonFrame remote controller. The RamperPro features an experimental DragonFrame integration mode. The RamperPro will then be triggered by that timer. In that case you set the external hardware to be the external timer. Some motion control hardware like the DitoGear solutions cannot handle an external intervalometer. This isolator acts like a switch that can trigger motion control hardware like the MX2, MX3 and TB3. You would need to use the I/O isolator when you use this mode.

A big advantage is that the interval fairing capability of the RamperPro can be used because the RamperPro sets the changing interval. This is especially working good in a shoot-move-shoot configuration. Motion control hardware can be triggered by the RamperPro to move all axis to the next position. In this setup the the RamperPro determines the timings and it controls the camera. There are currently three different types of integration possible: A drawback of this mode is that you cannot use interval fairing because the RamperPro is not dictating the interval. The motion control hardware can then signal the RamperPro to take a picture. You can then configure the RamperPro to be triggered by an external signal. Some hardware like DitoGear hardware doesn't have this possibility. This needs to be supported by your hardware. That way you are sure that the exposure is finished and that it is safe to move your camera. Its probably best if the RamperPro triggers the motion control hardware to move to the next position. You might need special adapters to connect external hardware like our I/O isolator or the ElysiaVisuals DragonFrame adapter. The first I/O port is tied to camera one, the second one to camera two. The MoCoBus connectors are for future use when more MoCoBus motion control hardware becomes available (from for example DynamicPerception).

These are the double RJ45, network connectors next to the light sensor connector. There are also two MoCoBus connectors available. The two ext ports (ext1 and ext2) at the back of the RamperPro can be used to integrate the RamperPro with motion control hardware. That way you can use the DitoGear controllers with the RamperPro for example. You can also use external intervalometer to trigger the RamperPro. The RamperPro can interface with all current motion control hardware like the Dynamic Perception MX2 and MX3 motion controllers or the eMotimo TB3.
