ClosedNOTE
NOTE:   When the photo eye triggers capture to start, capture remains on for at least the Photo Eyes: Debounce period before the photo eye signal is checked to see if capture should stop.  If you are getting too long of a capture period for the size of your object, then it could be that the debounce is too long. You should not set the debounce any shorter than it takes for the photo eye signal to stop ringing.
