Basic Operation and Configuration
If the Pelco D protocol is to be used, select
SerialRemote 1
and wait for the page to refresh, and then configure the Remote
Port Settings such as Speed (baud rate), Data Bits, Parity and
Stop Bits. Set the Address parameter to the appropriate Pelco
address. It may be necessary to use the scroll bar on the right
side of the page to access the settings.
When Use Preset Map File is set to Yes (the default), then
presets (and special functions known as Aux commands) can
be used to access certain settings that are specific to the FLIR
thermal camera, such as switching between White Hot and
Black Hot settings. See
Preset Map File, pg. 31
for information.
The Initial Selected Camera is used to designate which camera
(IR or DLTV) in a multi-sensor camera is selected as the initial
Active camera. When a command such as “Zoom In” is sent to
the camera, it will affect the Active camera, regardless of which
video stream is displayed.
In the Joystick settings, the Mode parameter, when set to FOV
Dependant, allows a pan/tilt camera to adjust the pan speed
automatically, depending on the current field of view (FOV). For
a narrow FOV, the camera moves more slowly. If you do not
want to limit the pan speed according to the FOV, set the
parameter to Absolute.
The Pilot Mode parameter controls the direction of tilt when the
joystick is moved forward or backward. When Pilot Mode is set
to yes, the camera points downward when the joystick is
moved forward, similar to the way an aircraft would move. If the
mode is set to no, the joystick operates as one would expect
with a video game controller.
The parameters in the Advanced Settings are related to Scan
Lists and the AutoPan feature. Refer to
Preset Map File, pg. 31
and
AutoPan Function, pg. 30
for more information about these
features.
If any of the parameters for SerialRemote 1 are changed, click
Save to save the changes. Generally most of the other Serial
Remote parameters which were not specifically described
above do not need to be changed (for SerialRemote 1 and
SerialRemote 2, it is OK if the Enabled parameter is set to no).
