GigE Line Scan Camera

User Manual

8.2.1 Enable Line Inverter

Go to Digital IO Control, and enable Line Inverter.

Figure 8-2

Enable Level Inverter

The Line Inverter parameter is disabled by default.

8.2.2 Enable Strobe Signal

The strobe signal is used to directly output signal to external devices when the camera’s event
source occurs. The camera supports synchronously outputting signals when it outputs one frame
or one line image.



If you need to let the camera output signals when it outputs one frame image, follow steps
below to set it.

Steps:

Click Digital IO Control, and set Exposure Start Active as Line Source.

Select Frame Mode as Strobe Source Selector.

Enable Strobe Enable.
