Serial Communication Csr - Basler L800k User Manual

Serial Communication CSR

An RS-644 serial connection is integrated into the Camera Link interface between the frame
grabber installed in your computer and the camera. The serial connection is used to issue
commands to the camera for changing modes and parameters. You can use the serial
communication CSR to set the bitrate for the camera's RS-644 serial port.
The default setting is 9600 bps.
The setting is changed immediately after the successful receipt of this command.

When changing a setting for serial communication, use the following procedure:
BASLER L800
k
0x00 = The register is not available
0x01 = The register is available. All related settings are OK
0x80 = A value in the register is set out of range
0x0F = 9600 bps (default)
0x11 = 19200 bps
0x12 = 38400 bps
0x13 = 57600 bps
0x14 = 115200 bps
1. Issue the write command with the new setting.
2. Wait one second.
3. Change the setting on the serial port that the camera is using:
a) If you are using a Camera Link frame grabber, change the setting on the
frame grabber's RS-644 serial port.
b) If you are using the camera with a k-BIC, change the bit rate on your PC's
RS-232 serial port.
4. Resume communication.
The RS-644 serial port on some Camera Link frame grabbers will only support a
bitrate of 9600. If you are using a Camera Link frame grabber, check the grabber's
documentation before attempting to change the bitrate.
At reset or power off/on, the camera returns to the 9600 bps setting.
