Installation
Communications Protocols
This section details communication information that should be taken into consideration prior
to installation.
Serial
In order to achieve the maximum performance from the serial link it is recommended that the
Tritech USB adapter is used. The Tritech USB allows Genesis and the Gemini to automatically
negotiate to the maximum permissible baud rate for the line. The higher the baud rate the
greater the bandwidth, resulting in an increase in the image update and quality.
The serial speeds available through the Tritech USB adapter are:
115200
230400
460800
921600
2Mbps
3Mbps
4Mbps
Note
When using the Tritech USB adapter, Genesis will automatically detect the
USB hardware plugged into the PC and populate Genesis with the Micron
Gemini information.
RS232
The maximum permissible speed for RS232 is 921600 baud. This will only be achieved if the
cabling is of a sufficient quality and below a certain length.
The maximum length of standard Tritech Micron cable that will support 921600 baud is 1 m.
This means that you will not achieve the maximum RS232 baud rate with the supplied 10m
Micron RS232 test cable.
