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).


Contents:

README

pfcomserver	Proxy server 32bit to 64bit coupling
pfcontrol	Commandline camera configuration (via pflib)
		(called test in the original version)




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.
