Configuring the Output Line

6.2.1

Selecting a Source Signal for the Output Line

The camera is equipped with one physical output line designated as output line 1. You can select
any one of the camera's standard output signals to act as the source signal for output line 1. The
camera has five standard output signals available:
Acquisition Trigger Wait
Frame Trigger Wait
Exposure Active
Flash Window
Timer Active
You can also designate the output line as "user settable". If the output line is designated as user
settable, you can use the camera's API to set the state of the line as desired.
To select a camera output signal as the source signal for the output line or to designate the line as
user settable:
Use the Line Selector to select output line 1.
Set the value of the Line Source Parameter to one of the available output signals or to user
settable. This will set the source signal for the output line.
By default, the Exposure Active signal is selected as the source signal for output
line 1.
You can set the Line Selector and the Line Source parameter value from within your application
software by using the Basler pylon API. The following code snippet illustrates using the API to set
the selector and the parameter value:
Camera.LineSelector.SetValue( LineSelector_Out1 );
Camera.LineSource.SetValue( LineSource_ExposureActive );
You can also use the Basler pylon Viewer application to easily set the parameters.
