4 Operation
4.1 Manual control of the keyEyesHDi
The keyEyesHDi is controlled using a set of MENUS. Each of these menus
contains up to 3 parameters that are adjusted using the rotary digipots. The
Menus define all of the adjustable operational parameters in the keyEyesHDi.
See chapter 4 Control Panel Operation for details of the control panel operation.
See section 3 of this chapter for the full list of menus.
4.2 Automation Control of the keyEyesHDi
Automation of the evolutionDT products is achieved either via the RS232 port
(currently not implemented) or via the I-Bus Port using an optional DG-9 (RS232
to I-Bus dongle). Automation control of the keyEyesHDi is performed using the
geNETics Automation Protocol.
Genetics protocol is described in detail in the “geNETics User Guide” section
titled “Automation Protocol on the geNETics Platform”. The menu list in section 3
of this chapter contains the data information for the protocol.
Please refer to the “User guide for the DG-9 eyeheight dongle and set-up
software.
