8.2 Configuring the Output Line
8.2.1 Assigning a Camera Output Signal to the
Physical Output Line
The camera is equipped with one physical output line designated as output line 1. You can use the
camera’s output signal assignment capability to assign one of the camera’s standard output signals
as the source signal for physical output line 1. The camera has a variety of standard output signals
available including:
„
Exposure Active
„
Trigger Ready
„
Timer 1
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 assign an output signal to 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.
You can set the Line Selector and the Line Source parameter value from within your application
software by using the 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 );
For detailed information about using the pylon API, refer to the Basler pylon Programmer’s Guide
and API Reference.
You can also use the Basler pylon Viewer application to easily set the parameters.
For more information about the pylon Viewer, see Section 3.1 on page 17 .
For more information about setting the state of a user settable output line, see Section 8.2.2 on
