AXB-PT10/15/30 PosiTrack Camera Controllers
Configuration Commands (Cont.)
GET VERSION
(version 3.00 or
higher)
Displays the current
firmware version (Boot
and Download) on the
terminal.
The Boot version sent back is determined by checking the version in flash
memory.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND CAM,"’GET VERSION’"
This command is issued from Terminal Emulator mode. When using a NetLinx
master, the ’MSG ON’ command must first be issued to see the status.
HOME
Goes to the location set
previously via the SET
HOME command.
If there is no user-defined HOME position, then the PosiTrack goes to the
mechanical home position.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND CAM,"’HOME’"
This differs from the FIND HOME command in that HOME does not involve a
re-calibration of the PosiTrack’s mechanical position.
IA
Sets the lens’ Iris mode
to auto (default).
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND CAM,"’IA’"
This command causes pin 8 of the lens connector to float open. A Servomotor
lens will internally pull this signal high. In this mode, the iris signal from the Posi-
Track (pin 5) will be ignored. Instead, the camera has full control of the lens iris,
typically used for Auto Iris mode (if the camera supports it).
IL
Sets the lens’ Iris mode
to local.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND CAM,"’IL’"
This command applies Ground (0 V) to pin 8 of the lens connector. It allows iris
control from the PosiTrack.
IP
Sets the lens’ Iris mode
to positional (default).
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND CAM,"’IP’"
This command can be used only for servomotor mode.
This command causes a logic high (VREF-A) on pin 9 of the lens control con-
nector. This puts the servomotor lens into Positional Iris mode.
IRIS PRESET=POS
Sets the Iris voltage
output to recall
positional presets
(default).
This is only applicable if the IRIS SIGNAL=S command is in effect, and the IRIS
switch is set to the S position (servomotor mode).
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND CAM,"’IRIS PRESET=POS’"
The command for IRIS output to servomotor mode or motor mode MUST be
configured to match the switch settings.
IRIS PRESET=SPEED
Sets the Iris voltage
output to recall speed
presets.
This is applicable only if the IRIS SIGNAL=S command is in effect, and the IRIS
switch is set to the S position (servomotor mode).
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND CAM,"’IRIS PRESET=SPEED’"
The command for IRIS output to servomotor mode or motor mode MUST be
configured to match the switch settings.
IRIS SIGNAL=M
Sets the Iris output to
be a motor output.
This setting corresponds to the M position (motor mode) setting on the IRIS
switch.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND CAM,"’IRIS SIGNAL=M’"
The command for IRIS output to servomotor mode or motor mode MUST be
configured to match the switch settings.
