this would normally be between 3 and 10 images and for an external
memory card (i.e. CRD drive) the number of images can be larger. When
communicating to retrieve images, it is suggested to limit the number of
files in the ring memory to 200 in order to avoid long communication
delays.
Following is an example of Files Manager settings:
(55,USR:SkySouth.JPG,3)
x Camera PakBus address is 55
x The files will be stored in the USR: director with a name
SkySouth####.JPG where #### is an incrementing number. Entering a
zero for this parameter will disable the automatic numbering and produce
a fixed file name.
x The 3 most recent files will be kept. A new incoming file will cause the
oldest to be deleted.
16.3 CR1000 COM Port (Control Port) Communications
On the CR1000, the control ports can be configured to function as RS-232
communication ports. Any of these 4 COM ports can be configured as PakBus
ports and used to communicate with the camera.
The COM ports can be activated as PakBus ports using the Device Configuration
Utility or by using the SerialOpen instruction in the CR1000 program.
The following SerialOpen instruction configures COM port 2.
x BAUD rate - 115200
x PakBus Port – 4
x Transmit delay – 0
x Buffer size – 1000
x SerialOpen(Com2,115200,4,0,1000)
17. Remote Image Retrieval
Once the camera has transferred an image or video to a datalogger, existing
LoggerNet communications can be used to retrieve images and video remotely
from the datalogger memory.
There are also permanent links available in the CC5MPX webserver to download
the most recently captured images or video files that have been saved to the SD
card. Refer to Section 5.4.1 for details.
17.1 LoggerNet File Retrieval
LoggerNet (version 4.0 or newer) includes the File Retrieval setup that facilitates
the image and video file retrieval from PakBus dataloggers (CR800 series,
CR1000, and CR3000). The File Retrieval tab is located in the Setup Screen as part
of the datalogger configuration. Once configured, the File Retrieval software is
used to retrieve images and video from a datalogger.
