Address = 1 - 7 First PTZ in link is always 1, next = 2 etc.
12. Generic serial commands
Address set broadcast (must be send first to initialize addresses in multiple PTZ setup):
<V_BROADCAST> <V_ADDRESS_SET> <0x01> <V_TERMINATOR>
(Pan/Tilt unit will listen to addres 1 after startup until a valid addres set broadcats is received. The received address will, till power-down power-up,
be the only address the unit responds to). This command causes the first unit in the RS232 chain to have address 1, the next will have address 2 and
so on. The pan/tilt will have the same address as the camera that is mounted on it. This address is assigned automatically but the pan/tilt must be
connected before the camera in the serial communications string (this is automatically correct when standard Orlaco cabling is used).
Pan/tilt/camera preset recall:
<0x80 + address> <V_COMMAND> <V_CATEGORY_CAMERA1> <V_PRESET> <V_PRESET_RECALL> <num preset 0-5> <V_TERMINATOR>
Pan/tilt/camera preset set:
<0x80 + address> <V_COMMAND> <V_CATEGORY_CAMERA1> <V_PRESET> <V_PRESET_SET> <num preset 0-5> <V_TERMINATOR>
Switch camera command (for ORL537 board and Multiview box):
<0x80> <V_COMMAND> <V_CATEGORY_SWITCH> <V_SWITCH_SET_CHANNEL> <num_camera> <V_TERMINATOR>
13. Pan/Tilt serial commands
Pan/Tilt limits (as of V3.0.0):
Limit_param = PAN_RIGHT = 0x1B, PAN_LEFT = 0x1C, TILT_UP = 0x1D, TILT_DOWN = 0x1E, split in 2 nibbles, L1,L2 (example: TILT_UP, L1=0x01,
L2=0x0D)
Limit_angle:
PAN_RIGHT,PAN_LEFT = 0-157 degrees = 0x00-0x9D,
PAN_RIGHT,PAN_LEFT = 0-170 degrees = 0x00-0xAA,
TILT_UP,TILT_DOWN = 0-90 degrees = 0x00-0x5A split into 2 nibbles A1,A2
Set_limit:
<0x80 + address> <V_COMMAND> <V_CATEGORY_CAMERA1> <V_ORLACO_EXTENSION> <V_ORLACO_SET_SYSPROP> <0x01> <0x00> <0x00>
<L1> <L2> <A1> <A2> <V_TERMINATOR>
Start wipe/wash cycle (as of V3.1.0):
<0x80 + address> <V_COMMAND> <V_CATEGORY_CAMERA1> <V_ORLACO_EXTENSION> <V_ORLACO_WIPE> <WW_CMD> <V_TERMINATOR>
WW_CMD = 1 - 4, 1 = long wipe/wash cycle, 2 = wipe cycle, 3 = wash cycle, 4 = short wipe/wash cycle.
