README pflib -- photon focus tools

A. Kopmann

The photon focus cameras have a serial programming interface.

This can be accessed via the special pin at the power connector

or via the serial programming interface included in the Camera

Link definition. 

The serial protocol is not documented -- too complicated for the 

users. Instead they provide precompiled libraries for Windows and

Linux.

The lastest Linux version of the tools is still only available 

for 32bit systems. I added an socket server that can pass

requests from 32bit applications to the framegrabber (64bit).

Troubleshooting

===============

1. For unknown reason, the delay should be included between sequential socket

   writes (reads look to be OK). Otherwise, spurious extra data may enter the

   socket and would be readed by different end.
