In order to facilitate the camera IO configuration and connection, the MARS-U3 series camera can
configure output signal level. The user can select whether the output level is reverse or not by setting
"LineInverter".
The default output signal level is false when the camera is powered on, indicating that the output line level
is not reversed. If it is set as true, indicating that the output line level is reversed. As shown in the Figure
8-9.

8.1.3. Read the LineStatus
1) Read the level of single line
The MARS-U3 series camera can get the line's signal status. When the device is powered on, the default
status of Line0 and Line1 is false, and the default status of Line2 and Line3 is true.
2) Read all the lines level
The MARS-U3 series camera can get the current status of all lines. On the one hand, the signal status is
the status of the external IO after the reversal of the polarity. On the other hand, signal status level can
reflect the external IO level.
All the lines level status bit of the MARS-U3 series camera are shown in Table 8-1. The default polarity
does not reverse, and the default value is 0xC.
