Programming
The AXB-PT15 control capabilities for camera functions include:
The PosiTrack is controlled with device-specific channel settings and Axcess Send_Commands.
You create the software programs with the Axcess programming software. Use the programming
information in this section, with the Axcess Programming Guide to create a program to control the
PosiTrack Camera Controller. The program resides in the Axcess or NetLinx Central Controller.
Configuration Commands
The following table lists in detail the different variables used in the Configuration Commands.
These variables consist of parameters which the commands must adhere to.
• Pan • Focus (servomotor; speed)
• Tilt • Focus (motor drive)
• Zoom (servomotor; positional) • Iris (servomotor; positional)
• Zoom (servomotor; speed) • Iris (servomotor; speed)
• Zoom (motor drive) • Iris (motor drive)
• Focus (servomotor; positional)
The commands for ZOOM, FOCUS, and IRIS output to servomotor or motor mode
MUST be configured to match the switch settings.
Variables for the Configuration Commands
Parameters Description
Outputs 1—PAN
2—TILT
3—ZOOM
4—FOCUS
5—IRIS
Level 0 (lowest) to 255 (highest) or 0% to 100%
On pan, tilt, and PWM drives for zoom, focus, and iris, level 128 will be OFF.
Level 129 and above are for the forward direction. Level 127 and below are
for the reverse direction.
Time (optional) If specified, 0 to 255 in tenths of a seconds; if not specified, at current rate.
Position 0 to 255; value of POT input. Corresponds to a position of the unit. 0 is one
end of the POT and 255 is the other end. Not directly related to an output
level voltage.
