Selecting the Source Signal Using Basler Pylon
To select a camera output signal as the source signal for the GPIO line (assuming it is set as an
output) or for the CL Spare line, or to designate a line as user settable:
 Use the Line Selector to select the line.
 Set the value of the Line Source Parameter to one of the available output signals or to user
settable. This will set the source signal for the output line.
You can set the Line Selector and the Line Source parameter value from within your application
software by using the Basler pylon API. The following code snippet illustrates using the API to set
the selector and the parameter value:
// Select the GPIO line
Camera.LineSelector.SetValue( LineSelector_Line1 );
// Set the source signal for the selected line
Camera.LineSource.SetValue( LineSource_ExposureActive );
// Select the CL Spare line
Camera.LineSelector.SetValue( LineSelector_ClSpare );
// Set the source signal for the selected line
Camera.LineSource.SetValue( LineSource_UserOutput );
You can also use the Basler pylon Viewer application to easily set the parameters.
For more information about the pylon API and the pylon Viewer, see Section 3.1 on page 19.
Selecting the Source Signal Using Direct Register Access
To select a camera output signal as the source signal for the GPIO line (assuming that it is set as
an output) or to designate the line as user settable via direct register access:
 Set the value of the Line Source Line 1 register to Acquisition Trigger Wait, Frame Trigger
Wait, Exposure Active, Frame Cycle, or User as desired.
To select a camera output signal as the source signal for the CL Spare line or to designate the line
as user settable via direct register access:
 Set the value of the Line Source Line CL Spare register to Acquisition Trigger Wait, Frame
Trigger Wait, Exposure Active, Frame Cycle, or User as desired.
For more information about direct register access, see Section 3.2 on page 21.
