Start-up
A Gigabit Ethernet port (1000Base-T) on the host computer is necessary.
1. Connect the camera with the appropriate data cable to the computer.
2. Plug the 15-pin connector of the power supply to the camera.
3. Switch on the power supply.
Camera control commands
To configure the internal image processing, a serial command interface is pro-
vided. By default this command interface is internally routed to the Gigabit
Ethernet port, but the RS232 signals at the 15-pin D-sub connector may also be
used.
To access it, a serial terminal program employing the PC’s RS-232 COM port is
required.
For Gigabit Ethernet the camera functions are controlled via GigE Vision fea-
tures. This GigE Vision features are internally mapped to direct camera control
signals or the serial commands accordingly.
If the serial interface is routed over the 15-pin D-sub connector, it might be
advantageous to use HyperTerminal to manually control the camera, since it is
part of Microsoft® Windows® deliveries.
AVT provides the software AcquireControl: this can operate the camera’s serial
port inband via the Gigabit Ethernet interface or externally via PC standard COM
ports. Type <CTRL>+Y to get a camera control terminal window there.
By default the serial interface uses the following parameters:
• 115200 Baud
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• No parity
• No handshake
The baud rate is factory-adjusted to 115200 but can also be configured to other
values (see Chapter
Advanced parameters and commands on page 46).
