Verifying Data Recording

Installation and use of Intellex Accessories
2. In the Intellex application, click on Setup, then Text. Click on
Add to set up a text stream for recording.
3. Type in a name for the text stream and select a COM port. Do
not select "Unselected" or any COM port less than COM 3.
4. Set up the other serial port parameters to match the data
source.
5. Click on the Camera Associations tab and select the
camera(s) that will be associated with this text stream.
NOTE: Text will only be recorded when the associated cameras
are recording video.
6. Click on OK to close the window and save the settings.
The data source must be connected to the COM port configured in
the Intellex application software and the data must be present on
Pin 2 of the DB-9 connector that plugs into the port expander. If the
data is on Pin 3, then a null modem adapter or cable must be used.
To verify the correct COM port, connect to the port expander and
send some data while Intellex is recording. The indicator on the port
expander will flash amber when data is received by Intellex. If it
does not flash amber, try a different input.
To verify data has been recorded, playback the video from the
associated camera. Click on the "A" button to open the text display
window. The text stream name should be in the box at the bottom
of the text window.
NOTE: The text stream name is not displayed in this box until
some text data is actually recorded. You should be able
to use the image playback controls and/or the text scroll
controls to see the text data. It is a good idea to restart
the Intellex and verify that it is still recording on the same
ports. You do not want a power failure or watchdog timer
reset to result in lost data after restarting.
