7.8.6 Setting parameters of the serial interface
The serial interface is available on the Power I/O connector, see "Pin assignment",
page 20. The following parameters can be set:
■
Baud rate: Data rate, in bits per second (bps).
■
Data bits: The number of data bits.
■
Stop bits: The number of stop bits.
■
Parity: Whether to use parity (odd or even).
Command channel
Select the Command channel checkbox to use the serial interface as command channel.
see "Using the command channel", page 50 for more information.
Output string
Select the Output string checkbox to send a result string via the serial interface. see
"Sending an output string", page 50 for more information.
7.8.7 Logging images to a microSD memory card
Follow the instructions below to log images to a microSD memory card:
NOTE
If no microSD memory card is inserted or if there is not enough memory available, no
images are logged. The images currently stored on the SD card are not overwritten.
1. Select the SD card image logging checkbox in the SD Card section in the Interfaces
workflow step to activate the image logging.
2. Specify the log condition in the Image logging section in the Results workflow step,
see "Image logging", page 47.
The logged images are saved in Portable Network Graphics (.png) format, and contain
both height data and reflectance data.
Destination folder
The first time an image is logged, a default folder named TriSpectorImages is cre‐
ated on the microSD memory card. If the Path field in the SD Card section is empty, all
images are saved to the default folder. To create a sub-folder and save the images
there, define the path to the sub-folder in the Path field.
Options
The following options are available in the SD Card section:
•
Click SD Card Info to view the currently available memory on the microSD memory
card.
•
Click Export images to export all images in the default folder and the underlying sub-
folders from the microSD memory card to the PC.
•
Click Delete all images to delete all images from the default folder and the underly‐
ing sub-folders on the microSD memory card.
•
Click Eject to stop all access to the data on the microSD memory card before
removing the card from the device.
Monitoring the log status
Three parameters related to the image logging are available for the Conditions and Ether‐
net output string sections in the Result workflow step:
