LYNX Manual RA02
3.1
Overview
The Lynx series of cameras are highly programmable and flexible. All of the
camera’s features and operating parameters can be controlled by the user. The
user communicates with the camera using simple ASCII commands via the
Camera Link’s serial interface. All of the cameras resources (internal registers,
video amplifiers and EEPROM) can be configured and monitored via this
interface. The format of the serial interface is ASYNC with 8 data bits, 1 stop bit,
no parity and no handshake. The interface operates at a rate of 9,600 bps. The
interface is bi-directional with the user issuing ‘commands’ to the camera and the
camera issuing ‘responses’ (either status or info) to the user. The camera’s
parameters can be programmed using the Lynx Configurator graphical user
interface or via simple ASCII commands using the Lynx Terminal utility or any
terminal emulator.
