6.3 Serial Port Tool

Apart from the MVS client software and frame grabber software, the serial port tool can be used to
detect camera status, read and set its parameters.
You can set camera parameters by connecting Camera Link serial port cable. When accessing the
camera or using the terminal in the application software, you are required to set the parameters as
follows.
 The camera parameters can be set via the MVS client software, frame grabber software or
serial port tool, but you cannot use them at same time.
 The default value of the camera's baud rate is 9600 bps.
The command for setting camera parameters via port is sent in the format of ASCII code. The
camera setting commands are send by user's application. After receiving commands, the camera
will return a value (success or fail). The specific command format is shown below.
Command Format:
