Command
3.7 PFLIB API Commands
The PFLIB application programming interface enables an application programmer to control the
1M28, 1M75, and 1M150 camera’s features without direct access to the CameraLink (or other)
interface. Access to the API, in order to work with most framegrabbers, is done by a separate
COMDLL, which is a low level communication interface to framegrabber’s RS232 emulation.
The PFLIB API can be used with the following framegrabbers:
•
All framegrabbers with a looped-in COM port.
•
Framegrabbers with a full RS232 emulation through the CameraLink or LVDS.
Note that all cameras released after January 1
st
, 2003 use the following low level communication
RS232 settings: One start bit, 8 data bits, one stop bit, NO PARITY.
Cameras released prior to 2003 still use EVEN PARITY.
A
1M28_1M75_1M150_PFRemote_Software.zip
file is provided on the floppy disk shipped
with the camera. It contains all of the files necessary to use the PFLIB API commands, including
documentation. Unzip the
1M28_1M75_1M150_PFRemote_Software.zip
and copy the files
contained in the zip file to a directory on your computer. Alternately, the latest version of the
software is also available at
http://vfm.dalsa.com/docs/docs.asp
in the “Software” folder.
