The system provides up to two standard RS232 serial ports to allow a computer to be connected
for data transfer and control purposes. Note that when connecting to a PC the connecting cable
must be a straight through RS232 cable.
Baud Rate, Parity, Databits and Stopbits
If you wish to connect a PC to Data port 1, you must ensure that the PC and the system are
identically configured. The available settings are:
Baud Rate
Parity

The control interface provided by the data port supports a subset of the Hayes command set as
well as a comprehensive set of system specific commands. It maintains communication with the
data port’s command interpreter at all times. All features available from the hand-held remote
control can be accessed through the data port.
Data Port 2
Data port 2 is dedicated to the main camera and will not be available in standard configuration.
The Data Port 2 menu contains the same items as the Data Port 1 menu; Baud rate, Parity,
Databits, Stopbits except for the Mode, which has VISCA and Auto selections Mode.
The system will automatically detect WAVE cameras. If you are using a camera supporting the
VISCA protocol, select Mode: VISCA.
If Mode is Auto and no camera is connected to the Data port 2, the Baud rate, Parity, Databits
and Stopbits settings will be enabled.
