The Communication Window
The Communication Window is used to connect the
Camera Control Tool with the JAI camera. Depending of
camera there are 2 possible ways to communicate with
a JAI camera.
RS-232:
Select the communication port, where the serial cable
is connected from the list box in the 'Communication
Port' field, or click the 'Auto' button to search for a
camera on communication port 1 to 16. The camera
control program automatically sends a camera request
on every communication port. The user is prompted to
use a communication port if a camera answers the
request.
RS-232 and Camera Link:
The Communication Window looks a bit different when
it is possible to communicate with the camera using
Camera Link and RS-232 com port. The Communication
area contains 2 list boxes now.
RS-232 communication:
1. Select 'COM-ports' from the 'CL Manufacturer/COM-ports' list Box.

the 'Serial Port' list box or click the 'Auto' button to search for a camera on communication
port 1 to 16.

Camera Link communication:
The 'CL Manufacturer/COM-ports' list box also
contains DLL file names (or frame grabber names) for
all Camera Link frame grabbers that are installed in
the pc. This is done by using a DLL file called
"clserial.dll" to upload all frame grabber DLLs that are
found in the pc.
Just select the option for the frame grabber that is installed in the pc .
Auto search
Click the auto button to search for a camera on communication port 1 to 16. The camera control
program automatically sends camera request on every communication port. The user is prompted to

This button is only used for RS-232 communication.
