Serial Communication

Grablink Full supports the asynchronous full-duplex serial communication between the camera and the frame grabber.

Serial Link Types

Two differential line pairs of the camera cable are dedicated to the serial communication, one for each direction:

Grablink Full supports exclusively the "Standard" serial link.

Serial Link Functionalities

The application software controls the serial communication channel through the standardized API defined by the Camera Link standard.

Alternatively, it can also be controlled using virtual COM ports. Therefore, the application must set the appropriate values to the parameters SerialControlA and SerialControlB respectively.
