RS-232 serial connector      147

RS-232 serial connector

The RS-232 serial connector is a male DB-9 connector. It connects to your 
development computer using a null-modem cable. 

It allows your MIL program to send and receive RS-232 messages from your 
Matrox Iris GT, via the J13 and J14 wire terminals of the smart camera connector

.

To view the operating system’s console output information using a terminal 
emulator program, such as HyperTerminal

1

, enable the 

POST 

(Power On Self 

Test) 

string print

 option in either the Matrox IrisBootParams utility or the 

COM 

port availability

 section on the 

Boot settings

 page, accessible from the 

Administration utility

 page of the Matrox Iris portal website.

1. Note that HyperTerminal is copyright Hilgraeve Inc. It is available as part of a 

Microsoft Windows XP installation. With Microsoft Vista, however, HyperTerminal 
is no longer part of a Windows installation. You can download a private edition trial 
of HyperTerminal from the Hilgraeve website.
