Serial Port Control Category
The Serial Port control in CamExpert allows the user to select an available camera serial port and
review its settings. This section also describes the Genie TS Framework Virtual Serial Port Driver
and the use of the Genie TS serial port as an interface from an Ethernet network to a serial port
control system for other devices.
Features listed in the description table but tagged as

are usually for Teledyne DALSA or
third party software usage—not typically needed by end user applications. Also important, Genie
TS cameras are available in a number of models implementing different sensors and image
resolutions which may not support the full feature set defined in this category.
