Physical Interface
72 Basler pilot
7.7.1.2 Line Schematic
The camera is equipped with two physical input lines designated as Input Line 1 and Input Line 2.
The input lines are accessed via the 12-pin receptacle on the back of the camera.
As shown in the I/O line schematic, each input line is opto-isolated. See the previous section for
input voltages and their significances. The absolute maximum input voltage is +30.0 VDC. The
current draw for each input line is between 5 and 15 mA.
Figure 25 shows an example of a typical circuit you can use to input a signal into the camera.
By default, Input Line 1 is assigned to receive an external hardware trigger (ExTrig) signal that can
be used to control the start of image acquisition.
