Using Camera Link with Spyder3 Cameras
All of the camera features can be controlled through the serial interface. The camera can also be used
without the serial interface after it has been set up correctly. For example, functions available include:
 Controlling basic camera functions such as gain and sync signal source.
 Flat field correction.
 Mirroring and readout control
 Generating a test pattern for debugging.
The serial interface uses a simple ASCII-based protocol and the PC does not require any custom software.
Note: This command set may be different from those used by other Teledyne DALSA cameras. You
should not assume that these commands perform the saI me as those for older cameras.
