10.2 Settings and Memory
The 1920C camera operates in accordance with a set of parameters that are located in the FPGA
on the digital board in the system. Since FPGA contents are lost when power is lost, the camera
parameters are loaded from a nonvolatile memory into the FPGA each time power is applied.
When a camera parameter is changed (via a UART command) during normal camera usage, the
change is not reflected in the nonvolatile memory. If it desired that the change be “permanent”,
the
Save Settings command will record ALL of the current camera parameters in nonvolatile
memory. These parameters will then become the new “power-on defaults”. The Load Factory
Defaults command can be used to reset ALL the parameters to their original (factory) values.
These parameters will not be recorded in nonvolatile memory until a Save Settings command is
issued.
10.3 Pleora eBus SDK Supplemental Information
A license for the Pleora eBus SDK and eBus player is included with each camera through which
roughly 95% of the camera functionality can be accessed.
10.3.1 Sample Projects
When the eBUS SDK is installed, there are some example C++ projects installed in the C:\Program
Files (x86)\Pleora hnologies Inc\eBUS SDK\Samples. The three essential example projects for
understanding how to connect to and control the Acuros CQD camera are named:
1. Image Processing: Demonstrates how to connect to a camera and stream imagery
2. Device Serial Port: Demonstrates how to open a UART channel and send command bytes
from the program to the Pleora interface.
These are the specific values the customer will need to set in order to communicate with
the Acuros CQD camera:
a. Set “BulkSelector” to “Bulk0” (
PvGenParameterArray::SetEnumValue("BulkSelector", "Bulk0"))
b. Set “BulkMode” to “UART” ( PvGenParameterArray::SetEnumValue("BulkMode",
"UART"))
c. Set “BulkLoopback” to false (
PvGenParameterArray::SetBooleanValue("BulkLoopback", false))
d. Set “BulkBaudRate” to “Baud115200” (
PvGenParameterArray::SetEnumValue("BulkBaudRate", “Baud115200”))
e. Set “BulkNumOfStopBits” to “One” (
PvGenParameterArray::SetEnumValue("BulkNumOfStopBits", “One”))
