Serial interface
All Pike cameras are equipped with the SIO (serial input/output) feature as
described in IIDC V1.31. This means that the Pike’s serial interface can be used
as a general RS232 interface.
Data written to a specific address in the IEEE 1394 address range will be sent
through the serial interface. Incoming data of the serial interface is put in a cam-
era buffer and can be polled via simple read commands from this buffer. Con-
trolling registers enable the settings of baud rates and the check of buffer sizes
and serial interface errors.
Base address for the function is: F0F02100h.
Note
•
Hardware handshaking is not supported.
•
Typical PC hardware does not usually support 230400 bps
or more.
