Serial interface

All Stingray cameras are equipped with the SIO (serial input/output) feature
as described in IIDC V1.31. This means that the Stingray’s serial interface can
be used as a general RS232 interface.

Data written to a specific address in the IEEE 1394 address range will be sent
through the serial interface. Incoming data of the serial interface is put in a
camera buffer and can be polled via simple read commands from this buffer.
Controlling registers enable the settings of baud rates and the check of buffer
sizes and serial interface errors.

Base address for the function is: F0F02100h.

Note

Hardware handshaking is not supported.

Typical PC hardware does not usually support
230400 bps or more.
