3.2 Overview: Setting up the Camera to Send
Commands
The following steps describe how to begin using the Pantera 1M60 and 1M30 commands.
1. If you have not already set up your camera cables, connect your cables as described
in section 2.1 Installation Overview.
2. Using a terminal program (e.g., Microsoft HyperTerminal), open a terminal window.
Note:
In order to communicate with the camera, a serial connection in the Camera
Link cable needs to be established. The framegrabber manufacturers should be able
to provide a solution in order to communicate through this serial link. The terminal
software can be also provided by the framegrabber manufacturer. Standard terminal
software such as HyperTerminal can be used in case if COM port is allocated by the
framegrabber.
Terminal should be set at 9600 baud during the camera power up.
3. When the terminal window is set up, power on the camera.
4. The boot-up message should appear on the terminal window:
Camera Initialization in progress, Please Wait ...
OK>
You can now communicate with the camera through the terminal using the software
commands described in this manual.
5. Set up the framegrabber to receive the data. Following the framegrabber
manufacturer’s instructions, set up the parameters described in the Camera Link™
Configuration Table on page 51.
6. Once the framegrabber is set up for data processing and the camera is powered up,
run your image processing software. You should be able to see an image from the
camera when exposed to a light source.
7. You can now set the other camera parameters described in this chapter.
