MC1xxx configuration tool

MC130x Users Manual Rev. 2.1

7 MC1xxx configuration tool

The MC1xxx configuration tool must be installed on a Windows
PC. (Win9x, WinNT, Win2K, WinXP) by means of the setup soft-
ware. See also

www.mikrotron.de

to download the latest version.

This software provides an almost self explaining user interface to
modify any camera parameter. The description of the parameters
follows the marked chapters in this user manual.

To connect this tool with the camera MC1300 use either a separate
communication cable between COMx of the PC and the 9-pin
COM camera connector (

RS-232 PC cable

) or a combined cable

with the Rx/Tx signals fed thru the digital video cable.

To use this tool with the camera MC1301 the serial interface is
integrated in the Camera Link interface. You do not need any other
additional cable.

If the frame grabber Mikrotron INSPECTA-4 and the
unidirectional cable is used, commands can be send to the
MC130x, but not read from it.
