This filter gets the logical state of the selected Digital IO line.

The line mapping is fixed for all camera families - all PicSight and CheckSight models. It's briefly summarized in the following table, details are listed in SynView Manual Sections: "Input and output signals" and "Connector and cable description".

Camera driver software

This filter is intended to cooperate with cameras using their vendor's SDK. In order to connect with the camera, it is required to install SynView SDK software with camera dedicated drivers.

SynView SDK can be downloaded from the following website: https://net-gmbh.com/en/machine-vision/products/software

To verify the driver installation, you can run SynView Explorer (in the directory where camera drivers where installed). If the camera was detected and you can see the view from the camera, you can use SynView camera SDK in Aurora Vision Studio.

Recommended SynView SDK version for Aurora Vision Studio usage is 1.03.010.
