Analog Input Processing
194 Planning and Installation Manual
Customizing Analog Video Processing Settings
When analog video signals are fed to the VI-33100 base board, each of
the 16 inputs can be adjusted independently. The adjustments are made
using a terminal connection to the board.
Terminal Setup
1. Connect a straight-through RS-232 serial cable from the VI-33100
card front-edge 9-pin connector to the serial port of a PC with
Hyper terminal 6.3 software (or equivalent).
One alternative to Hyper terminal is Tera Term 3.1.3 (freeware),
which can be set to a 160- column display. This allows a wide
display mode that will show the settings for all 16 inputs at once.
The location of the D connector is shown on page 133. Pinouts are
shown in Table 31.
CAUTIONThe Trinix system should not be operated with the front door open for
extended periods. Therefore the configuration cable should be discon-
nected from the VI-33100 board when not in use and the door closed.
Table 31. VI-33100 card-edge connector pinouts.
2. Launch the terminal application (e.g., Hyper terminal) on the PC.
3. Set the terminal protocol to 115200 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no
parity bit, no flow control.
A terminal window and a blinking cursor should appear.
4. Press ENTER.
