8.2 Configuring Output Lines and Signals
8.2.1 Selecting a Source Signal for an Output Line
In the BCON interface, two bits are reserved for camera output signals. In the pylon API, the two
bits are represented as output lines Line 1 and Line 2.
To make an output line useful, you must select a source signal for the line. The camera has the
following standard output signals available:
For more information about the output signals User Output 1 and User Output 2, see Section 8.2.2
on
page 53 .
1. Use the LineSelector parameter to select output line Line 1 or Line 2.
2. Set the value of the LineSource parameter to one of the available output signals or to user
settable. This will set the source signal for the output line.
You can set the LineSelector and the LineSource parameter values 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:
// Select the Flash Window signal as the source signal for the BCON output line 1
camera.LineSelector.SetValue(LineSelector_Line1);
camera.LineSource.SetValue(LineSource_FlashWindow);
For more information about

the flash window signal, see Section 9.6.2 on page 76 .

setting the status of a user settable output line, see Section 8.2.2 on page 53 .
8.2.2 Setting the Status of a User Settable Output Line
The output lines can be designated as "user settable", which means that you can assign a state
(high or low) to them using the UserOutputValue parameter.
You can use this to control external events or devices, e.g. a light source.
