verifying that the camera is producing an image, power down the camera.

connector on the I/O module labeled "RS-232".
3. Connect the other end of the standard serial cable to an unused serial port on your
computer. These ports are usually labeled "COM1", "COM2", etc.
4. Power on the camera. Assuming the Control Panel software is already installed on the

connected to the PC. Then select the RS232 option and appropriate COM port then hit
