AW00097603000 I/O Control
Basler aviator GigE 45
6 I/O Control
This section describes how to configure the camera’s two physical input lines and four physical
output lines. It also provides information about monitoring the state of the input and output lines.
6.1 Configuring the Input Lines
6.1.1 Assigning an Input Line to Receive a Hardware
Trigger Signal
The camera is equipped with two physical input lines designated as input line 1 and input line 2.
You can assign a camera input line to act as the source signal for the following camera functions:
Acquisition Start Trigger - If an input line is selected to be the source signal for the acquisition
start trigger, whenever a proper electrical signal is applied to the line, the camera will recognize
the signal as an acquisition start trigger signal.
Frame Start Trigger - If an input line is selected to be the source signal for the frame start
trigger, whenever a proper electrical signal is applied to the line, the camera will recognize the
signal as an frame start trigger signal.
Frame Counter Reset - If an input line is selected to be the source signal for the frame counter
reset, whenever a proper electrical signal is applied to the line, the counter value for the frame
counter chunk feature will be reset.
Trigger Input Counter Reset - If an input line is selected to be the source signal for the trigger
input counter reset, whenever a proper electrical signal is applied to the line, the counter value
for the trigger reset counter chunk feature will be reset.
For detailed information about assigning an input line to act as the source signal
for the acquisition start trigger and for details about how the acquisition start trigger operates,
see Section 7.3.5 on page 72.
for the frame start trigger and for details about how the acquisition start trigger operates, see
Section 7.4.3 on page 81.
for a frame counter reset and for details about how the frame counter chunk feature operates,
see Section 11.3 on page 266.
for a trigger input counter reset and for details about how the trigger input counter chunk
feature operates, see Section 11.5 on page 270.
For more information about the electrical characteristics of the input lines, see Section 5.7 on
page 38.
