7.7.1.2 Line Schematic
The camera is equipped with one physical input line designated as Input Line 1. The input line is
accessed via the 12-pin receptacle on the back of the camera.
As shown in the I/O line schematic, the 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 the input line is between 5 and 15 mA.
Figure 20 shows an example of a 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.

page 56.
For more information about how to use an ExTrig signal to control image acquisition, see
Section 9.4.5 on page 96, Section 9.5.3 on page 104 and Section 9.6.3 on page 115.
