8.3 Checking the State of the I/O Lines

8.3.1 Checking the State of the Output Line

You can determine the current state of the output line. To check the state of the output line:

 Use the Line Selector parameter to select output line 1.

 Read the value of the Line Status parameter to determine the current state of the line. A value

of true means the line’s state is currently high and a value of false means the line’s state is

currently low.

You can set the Line Selector and read the Line Status 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 read the parameter value:

// Select output line 1 and read the state

Camera.LineSelector.SetValue( LineSelector_Out1 );

bool outputLine1State = Camera.LineStatus.GetValue( );

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.

For more information about the pylon Viewer, see Section 3.1 on page 17.

8.3.2 Checking the State of All Lines

You can determine the current state of the input line and the output line with a single operation. To

check the state of both lines:

 Read the value of the Line Status All parameter.

You can read the Line Status All parameter value from within your application software by using the

pylon API. The following code snippet illustrates using the API to read the parameter value:

int64_t lineState = Camera.LineStatusAll.GetValue( );

The Line Status All parameter is a 32 bit value. As shown in Figure 27, certain bits in the value are

associated with each line and the bits will indicate the state of the lines. If a bit is 0, it indicates that

1 2 ... 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 ... 165 166
