6.4 Additional free-d™ Target seeking cameras
If more than one camera is to be used in a system it is possible to enter more
than one set of camera values in the “camera list” section of the database.
The
free-d™ camera number will be recognised by the processor and relevant
calibration files used. Therefore, any camera can be used with any processor,
provided it has the database programmed into it. Aux camera number is
changed using the rotary switch S101 to change the most significant bit of the
camera number; eg, change the most significant bit (MSB) of the camera
number from 10 to 20 by changing S101 from F to E.
Additional information in the “camera list” is also required if there are two
possible mounting positions for the
free-d™ camera. If this is the case a
second row can be added in the camera list with a different name, ID number
and the x,y,z offsets changed. The 15-pin hi-density D-type port on the
free-
d™ camera has 11 aux. inputs available, four of which can be used to set the
lowest significant bit (LSB) of the camera number.
Uploading the database again will enable different offsets to be applied when
the camera ID number is changed; eg, change the LSB of the ID number on
the
free-d™ TSC so camera 10 will become 11.
To use the aux. inputs on the free-d™ camera a connector must be made up
and the relevant pins linked together. Pins 4, 14, 10 and 5 are used to set the
LSB of the camera number. For example, if no aux. inputs are connected then
camera n would be n0. If pin 4 is connected to pin 15 (0V) then it becomes
n1.
Camera ID Pin connections on Aux. Connector
n0 None
n1 4 to 15
n2 14 to 15
n3 10 to 15
n4 5 to 15
