CONSOLE Switch
With a serial port terminal program, you can use the CONSOLE switch
to read device information from the NI Smart Camera during startup,
such as the IP address and firmware version. When the CONSOLE
switch is in the ON position, the serial port outputs device information
and is not available for applications. The smart camera reads this switch
only when powering up or restarting and will only display device
information during startup.
When the CONSOLE switch is in the OFF position, you can use the smart camera serial port and
NI-Serial driver software to send and receive serial data. The NI-Serial software is installed
when you install NI-IMAQ. When using the NI-Serial driver, keep the CONSOLE switch in the
OFF position during normal operation.

camera.
