XIIMUS 4K CL User Manual. Model: 4096CT. Version 1.4

For the RS-232 port, bits R1 and R0 are interpreted as pairs in the following manner:

R1 R0

Function

0

0

9600 bits per second

0

1

19200 bits per second (default)

1

0

38400 bits per second

1

1

If set, uses default. Cannot be set by user.

The bits marked X can be either '1' or '0' ("don't care").

Please note that if the baud rate is changed, the new setting must be saved to a memory
bank using the new baud rate. If the new baud rate is desired to be available at power-up,
this new setting must be saved memory bank 0.

3.16.

Customer Registers (addresses 240-255)

The last sixteen 8-bit registers of each memory bank are reserved for customer use. These
registers can contain any information related to the application where the camera is used or
extra user settings associated with each memory bank.
