If the intended action does not need any parameter, it is sufficient in most cases
to send the command letter only, directly followed by
[CR].
At the beginning of a command sequence it is good practice to check the serial
communication by sending just a
[CR] to the camera and verify that the com-
mand prompt > is returned. There is an input buffer holding a few characters
but no hardware handshake. Thus a sequence of commands should not be sent
to the camera without awaiting the intermediate input prompts. Otherwise the
camera’s serial input buffer may overflow.
Adjust the image processing
Subsequently the important commands for quick starting the image correction
of the Pearleye P-007 LWIR / Pearleye P-030 LWIR are mentioned. All further
parameters and a description of the correction modules can be found in Chapter
Image processing on page 34.
The camera is configured ex-factory with parameter settings which ensure a
basic image correction. Pearleye P-007 LWIR /Pearleye P-030 LWIR are
equipped with multiple correction data sets for different operation conditions.
the image quality can be improved by activating another correction data set if
the conditions of the camera have changed. In addition the Pearleye P-007
LWIR / Pearleye P-030 LWIR models feature an electromechanical calibration
shutter that can further enhance the quality of the corrected image. Use the
serial command
k=0, to select a good data set automatically. This command
also controls the shutter.
