AXB-PT10/30 PosiTrack Camera Controllers
Configuration Commands (Cont.)
GET STATUS
(version 3.00 or
higher)
Displays the current
firmware version (Boot
and Download) on the
terminal along with
additional status
information.
The returned boot version is determined by checking the version in flash mem-
ory.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND CAM,"’GET STATUS’"
This command is issued from the Terminal Emulator mode of the AxcessX pro-
gram. Besides the boot and download versions, it also displays the following
information:
• Presets - predifined camera positions
• Current speed - pan, tilt, zoom, focus, and iris speeds
• Current acceleration - a value between 0-255 on an acceleration curve applied
to the movement of the unit from one position to another.
• Mode - settings for the camera (servomotor or motor modes)
• Deviation - numeric value corresponding to how far-off from the center point of
your preset you want the camera to be when it finally stops on that preset.
• Speed Priority - whether level or channel
GET VERSION
(version 3.00 or
higher)
Displays the current
firmware version (Boot
and Download) on the
terminal.
The Boot version sent back is determined by checking the version in flash mem-
ory.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND CAM,"’GET STATUS’"
This command is issued from the Terminal Emulator mode of the AxcessX pro-
gram.
HOME
Goes to where the
Home position is set.
If there is no Home offset, then the PosiTrack goes to the mechanical home posi-
tion. If there is a Home offset then the PosiTrack unit goes there.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND CAM,"’HOME’"
This differs from the FIND HOME command in that HOME does not involve a re-
calibration of the PosiTrack’s mechanical position.
IA
Sets the lens’ Iris mode
to auto (default).
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND CAM,"’IA’"
The IA and IL commands apply only if using pin 8 on the lens control connector.
This pin determines whether the lens is in Auto or Local iris mode. The Auto/
Local option works for lenses that have iris control.
IL
Sets the lens’ Iris mode
to
local.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND CAM,"’IL’"
IP
Sets the lens’ Iris mode
to positional (default).
This command can be used only for servomotor mode.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND CAM,"’IP’"
The IP command applies only if you connect pin 6 (zoom), 7 (focus), and/or 9
(iris) to the lens control connector. These pins determine if the lens is in posi-
tional or speed mode.
IRIS PRESET=POS
Sets the Iris voltage
output to recall
positional presets
(default).
This is only applicable if the IRIS SIGNAL=S command is in effect, and the IRIS
switch is set to the S position (servomotor mode).
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND CAM,"’IRIS PRESET=POS’"
The command for IRIS output to servomotor mode or motor mode MUST be
configured to match the switch settings.
