New Baud Rate
This drop down list will provide the valid baud rates for the chosen protocol. The
baud rate options reflect the protocol as set on the main form for Camset itself. In
FV protocol the option is a toggle which simply switches the MIC between 4800
and 9600. If control is not present after the window is closed, try changing the
Camset Baud Rate.
Reset MIC
This sends out a command to reboot the software. This is not a hardware reboot;
the only way to do that is to remove the power supply to the MIC.
Camset Settings
The
Camset Settings
section as shown above control the Protocol, MIC model,
Baud Rate and Comm Port used; select the appropriate parameters for your
MIC400 from the dropdown menus.
Some functions in Universal Camset may not be supported by particular protocols;
any incompatible functions will be greyed out if it is not supported in a given
protocol.
The communication settings will be set to the default for the chosen protocol,
indicating this on the Camset Baud Rate drop down list.
MIC Model
This provides a list of all the available MIC Models. This should be set to the type
of camera being controlled as Camset is then set up accordingly to provide more
or less options dependant upon the combination of this setting with the Camset
Protocol above.
Comm Port
This provides a list of the available Comm Ports detected by the software on the
PC. If a comm port is in use when it is selected the user will be prompted with an
error, and should either select another port or close the application currently using
it. If the MIC-USB485CTR, USB to RS485 convertor is being used, when plugged
in this will show on the Comm Port drop down menu as
USB
, simply select to use.
The final option is close which will close any open communications port meaning
that other applications can then use the port for other purposes.
Camset Baud Rate
This displays the current Baud Rate at which outgoing messages are sent, and the
other options available for the given protocol above. Changing this without first
changing the MIC baud rate will cause a loss of communications.
RTS
This defines the state of the RTS line on the serial port which can be used power
in line RS232 to 485 adapters.
Comms Mode
There are 3 available options for comms modes:
Full Duplex
: Full 2 way 4 wire communications connection. Messages are
transmitted and received on separate comms pairs.
Half Duplex
: 2 way, 2 wire communications connection. Messages are transmitted
and received on the same pair of wires. The 485 drivers deal wih the switching of
the line directions automatically.
Simplex
: 1 way 2 wire communications connection. Messages are only transmitted
to the camera. This will work for most manual controls, but anything that requires a
response, such as Pot Test, Exact Positioning, Programming etc will fail.
