Trigger and General Purpose Input
(CC0)
The LVDS input line can be used to send a trigger signal to the camera. Although the trigger
frequency is very moderate, make sure to observe the LVDS design rules to avoid noise being
picked up. Noise can cause false trigger events.
In addition, the LVDS input can be used as a general purpose input. The state of the input can be
read via the camera’s control interface at any time.
The input does not need a termination resistor. The line is terminated at camera side.
In other respects, the same recommendations as for the BCON data output lines apply (see
Section 6.1 on

I²C Configuration Interface (I2C_SDC,
I2C_SDA, I2C_ID)
Basler dart BCON cameras use the I²C interface to exchange configuration data with the controlling
processor.
I²C is an open-collector bus interface with two signal lines, SDA and SCL. Connect these signal
lines to the appropriate ports of an I²C controller. Typically, an I²C controller is part of the
microcontroller or the System on a Chip (SoC) that you will be using to process the image data.

NOTICE
Voltage outside of the specified range can cause damage.
You must supply camera power that complies with the individual voltage requirements of the
BCON interface lines:
The nominal voltage for the power supply line (VCC) is
5 V
.
The nominal voltage for the I²C interface lines (I2C_SCL, I2C_SDA, I2C_ID) is
3.3 V
.
