10.1 Specification of SCOTI (SCB Operating & Transfer Interface)
Overview
The SCB-1 can be controlled via a RS-232-interface. The used protocol is called SCOTI (for
SCB operating and transfer interface).
The baud rate is set to 9600 (8, n, 1, no handshaking) out of the factory. It can be changed to
19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400, 460800 or 921600. The high transfer-rates are useful
if you want to transfer images via RS-232 (not possible with 9600). Please note that baud
rates above 115200 are not supported by all PC and may require special drivers and/or
hardware. We can recommend you serial-port-cards that support 921600 baud. You can get
the latest Camera Control software (see page 15) from
http://www.wolfvision.com/wolf/camera_control.exe . This software uses the SCOTI-protocol
and demonstrates all possibilities and can be used for image-transfers.
The communication is packet-oriented: The host sends a packet and the SCB replies to it with
"OK" or an error (e.g. if the checksum was incorrect). A new packet from the host can be sent
after the reply from the previous packet was received (or a timeout occurred).
Change baud rate
To change the baud rate, start the WolfVision Camera Control software. Set the new baud rate
in the "Extras"-menu. To permanently store the new setting, select "Memorize Current Baud
rate".
If the Camera Control software is not available, use the RS-232 commands on page 23.
Following baud rates are supported since firmware v1.03a and Camera Control software v1.3:
19200
baud/s
38400 baud/s
57600 baud/s
