Using Allied Vision viewer applications
RS232 serial interface
Select the desired camera from the cameras window of the GigE Sample
Viewer. Click the serial icon, shown left, to open the serialIO window.
This tool controls the camera’s RS232 port which communicates across
the RXD and TXD pins on the camera IO port. All Allied Vision GigE cameras
except Mako offer an RS232 port.
RS232 communication can be used for interfacing the camera to motorized
lenses, temperature and pressure sensors, camera position motors, and other
applications.
Seek camera
Select the desired camera from the cameras window of the GigE Sample
Viewer. Click the seek icon, shown left. The seek camera window
appears. This is used when camera UDP discover broadcast packets are
either disabled, or blocked by hardware or network administrator preventing
the camera from being recognized by the GigE Sample Viewer. Enter the cam-
era’s IP address into the window shown below.
