4.8 Configuration Interface (CameraLink)
A CameraLink camera can be controlled by the user via a RS232 compatible asynchronous serial
interface. This interface is contained within the CameraLink interface as shown in Fig. 4.24 and
is physically not directly accessible. Instead, the serial communication is usually routed through
the frame grabber. For some frame grabbers it might be necessary to connect a serial cable
from the frame grabber to the serial interface of the PC.
