If rotary encoder is used, Line0 -- Phase A , Line2 -- Phase B 
Line Format 
This feature returns or sets (if possible) the current electrical 
format of the selected physical input Line: No connect, TTL, 
LVDS 
Line Connector Pin 
Enumeration of the physical line (or pin) on the device connector. 
This feature is not available when Line Format is set to Not 
Connected and when Line Selector is set to a line smaller than 
Line2 
Line Function 
Displays the line function 
Line Debounce Factor 
This feature control the minimum period of a input line transition 
before detecting a signal transition.

Parameter 
Description 
Output Selector 
This feature selects which physical line (or pin) of the external 
device connector to configure. When a Line is selected, all the 
other Line features will be applied to its associated I / O control 
block and will condition the resulting input or output signal. 
Line0 outputs signals at PLC_Q0; Line1 outputs signals at 
PLC_Q1; Line2 outputs signals at PLC_Q2; Line3 outputs signals 
at PLC_Q3. 
Output Format 
This feature returns or sets (if possible) the current electrical format 
of the selected physical output Line: No Connect, TTL, or LVDS 
Gain, Black Level, and Background 
The cameras provide gain and black level adjustments in the digital domain for the sensor. The gain and 
black level controls can make small compensations to the acquisition in situations where lighting varies 
and the lens iris cannot be easily adjusted. The user can evaluate gain and black level using CamExpert. 
The parameters that control gain, black level, and background are grouped together in the Analog 
Controls set. 
Note that calibrating the gain can take up to 10 second s. Adjust the GUI’s timeout values (in the 
Advanced Processing set) accordingly. 
A section describing camera calibration in detail is available later in this manual.
