Notes on Using Alternatives to HyperTerminal
If you are using interfaces other than H yperTerminal, the A SCII character, ESC, is decimal 27 and
•
needs to be issued. From the command line insert ESC by using A LT+2+7 of the activated N um-
Pad. In some cases this needs to be follow ed by a carriage return or a linefeed to send this to the
camera.
In A SCII the ESC character may look like this: "←".
•
ASCII to GenCP
To sw itch from the A SCII-command interface to the GenCP interface, the camera must be either reset
(RC) or the pow er must be cycled. N ote that GenCP and A SCII commands cannot be accessed
simultaneously.
N ote that the H yperTerminal application is not available on the Windows 7 OS.
Alternatives to H yperTerminal
The follow ing alternative A SCII-interfaces have been tested and show n to w ork w ith this camera:
PuTTY and TeraTerm. N ote that PuTTY does not have Xmodem capability w hile TeraTerm
does. Xmoden is required to update code in the camera.
TeraTerm http:/ / logmett.com/ index.php?/ dow nload/ tera-term-473-freew are.html
PuTTY http:/ / putty.en.softonic.com/
The camera responds to a simple A SCII-based protocol. A carriage return <CR> ends each command.
Example: to return the current detector settings
gcp <CR>
A complete list of the available detector commands, their format and parameters can be displayed by
sending the help (h) command.
