3. Type in a name for the text stream and select a COM port. Do not select
“Unselected” or any COM port less than COM 3.
4. Set up the other serial port parameters to match the data source.
5. Click the Camera Associations tab and select the camera(s) that will be associated
with this text stream.
NOTE: Text will only be recorded when the associated cameras are recording video.
6. Click OK to close the window and save the settings.
Connecting the Data Source
The data source must be connected to the COM port configured in the Intellex
application software and the data must be present on Pin 2 of the DB-9 connector that
plugs into the port expander. If the data is on Pin 3, then a null modem adapter or
cable must be used.
To verify the correct COM port, connect to the port expander and send some data
while Intellex is recording. The indicator on the port expander will flash amber when
data is received by Intellex. If it does not flash amber, try a different input.
Verifying Data Recording
To verify data has been recorded, playback the video from the associated camera.
Click the “A” button to open the text display window. The text stream name should
be in the box at the bottom of the text window.
NOTE: The text stream name is not displayed in this box until some text data is
actually recorded. You should be able to use the image playback controls
and/or the text scroll controls to see the text data. It is a good idea to restart
the Intellex and verify that it is still recording on the same ports. You do not
want a power failure or watchdog timer reset to result in lost data after
restarting.
Port Expander Indicators
The front of the port expander has an illuminated indicator that is used to display
status. The display states are:
Green (slowly flashing) USB connection to the Intellex unit has been
established. No serial data being recorded.
Amber (steady or
flashing)
Serial data is being sent to the Intellex unit.
Red USB error. Expander is not ready to send data to the
Intellex unit.
