8.1.2 Using an Unassigned Input Line to Receive
a User Input Signal
You can use an unassigned input line to receive your own, user-generated input signal. The
electrical characteristics of your input signal must meet the requirements shown in the Physical
Interface section of this manual.
You can use the Line Status or Line Status All parameters to monitor the state of the input line that
is receiving the user-defined signal.
For more information about using the Line Status and Line Status All parameters, see Section 8.3.1
on page 101 and Section 8.3.2 on page 101.
8.1.3 Setting an Input Line for Invert
You can set each individual input line to invert or not to invert the incoming electrical signal. To set
the invert function on an input line:
 Use the Line Selector to select an input line.
 Set the value of the Line Inverter parameter to true to enable inversion on the selected line and
to false to disable inversion.
You can set the Line Selector and the Line Inverter 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:
// Enable the inverter on line 1
Camera.LineSelector.SetValue( LineSelector_Line1 );
Camera.LineInverter.SetValue( true );
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.
A line assigned to receive an ExTrig input signal can’t be used to receive a user-
designed input signal.
