When turning on the Evaluation GUI for the first time,
an error message will be displayed: “Invalid Port
Configuration!” The error is returned because the
camera did not respond to a status request message
on the default communication port. Click the “OK”
button on the message window.
Determine the camera COM port by looking in
Windows device manager. The NOCTURN COM port
number can be seen under the “Ports (COM & LPT)”
and will be labeled “Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART
Bridge (COM XX)”.
On the “Settings” tab of the GUI enter the “COM XX”
value found in device manager in the “Communication
Port” control. Make sure that the “Baud Rate” control is
set to 115200 and click the red button indicator next to
the “Communication Port Open” control. The red
indicator should turn blue.
At this point, communication with the camera should be
enabled and active. The COM port value will be saved
as the default the next time the GUI is turned on.
