Serial interface
All
Pike
cameras
are
equipped
with
the
SIO
(serial
input/output)
feature
as
described
in
IIDC
V1.31.
This
means
that
the
Pike’s
serial
interface
can
be
used
as
a
general
RS232
interface.
Data
written
to
a
specific
address
in
the
IEEE1394
address
range
will
be
sent
through
the
serial
interface.
Incoming
data
of
the
serial
interface
is
put
in
a
camera
buffer
and
can
be
polled
via
simple
read
commands
from
this
buffer.
Controlling
registers
enable
the
settings
of
baud
rates
and
the
check
of
buffer
sizes
and
serial
interface
errors.
Base
address
for
the
function
is:
F0F02100h.
To
configure
this
feature
