VarioTherm Protocol Integration
VarioTherm, VarioCam or IR-TCM are brands of Jenoptik for thermal image cameras. These cameras may be controled with GscTelecontrol.
Modes
There are 2 modes for control:
|
Mode |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Direct control |
In that mode the camera may be directly connected to a serial port of GscTelecontrol. This mode is thought mainly for test purposes because the camera is normally to operate in the Argus PTZ environment. That mode of the protocol driver may be activated by a special value in the Windows registry: HKLM/Software/Geutebrueck/... GeViScope/Telecontrol/ClientData. The DWORD value DirectControl must be created with a value of 1. |
|
KDEC (ARGUS) control |
That is the default mode of the driver operation. In that mode the camera is controlled via the transparent data channel of the KDEC protocol. The camera commands camera are embedded into the according KDEC command wrapper and transmitted unchanged to the functions. |
Functions
The control of the camera requires GeViSoft versions >= 90
