Camera Link Camera Configuration over Frame Grabber Camera Link Serial Port

Camera Configuration within Camera Link is based on a simple asynchronous serial reading and writing of configuration data. Within the Camera Link standard specification, a serial communication interface is defined. This standardized serial interface is available on the frame grabber. It enables the interaction of a vendor specific camera configuration tool and the frame grabber specific implementation of the serial communication functionality.

In simple words: Any Camera Link compliant camera configuration software runs in combination with any Camera Link frame grabber. In this project we use Bitflow Karbon-CL Frame Grabber.

CLComm - An interface to the Camera Link serial port library.

This wraps both the standard CLAllSerial.h interface, and the BFSerial.h library, which provides various useful extensions to the core library.

To access Camera Link Serial Port cameras require a DLL file, which is supplied by the frame grabber manufacturer, to be installed on the PC. To verify this, use the PC’s registry editor (regedit) to confirm the following setting:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->SOFTWARE-> “CLSERIALPATH”.

Then, check the folder specified in the “Data” field of “CLSERIALPATH”, and verify that the folder contains a “clser***.dll” file.

Note: the file name of the DLL file is clser***.dll. “***” is up to the frame grabber  manufacturer. If the DLL file does not exist there, place the DLL file into the folder. The DLL file is supplied by the frame grabber manufacturer.

In order to use CLComm Component in the project, first add a reference to it, make sure to place the file "CLAllSerial.NET.dll" into your working directory, and set the target framework to ".NET Framework 4.5". The component "CLAllSerial.NET.dll" has compiled using ".NET Framework 4.5" so the target project must also use ".NET Framework 4.5".

Add a "CLAllSerial.NET.dll" reference to the target project, right click the project, choose "Add References" then from the "Projects" tab, choose "CLAllSerial.NET.dll" from your working directory.

	using CLComm;
	// private member
	private CLAllSerial m_clserial;
	// Initialize the first Bitflow, Inc. CLSerial Interface.
	m_clserial = new CLAllSerial();
	if (0 == CLAllSerial.GetNumPorts())
	{
	MessageBox.Show("The system has no CLSerial ports! Aborting.", "SimpleCom Initialization Error");
	Close();
	Application.Exit();

Cara membuat hotspot Wifi Windows 8 auto run di Start Up Program

Pertama buat file batch ( batch script, bat file atau DOS command file), simpan file di start up menu program. Lokasi foldernya biasanya di: "AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup" .

Di Windows 8 kita tidak bisa menjalankan file *.bat  sebagai administrator, kita harus mengklik kanan kemudian pilih menu "run as administrator". Cara lainnya yaitu dengan membuat shortcut file link dari file *.bat tersebut kemudian pilih property, advance property, dan centang kotak checkbox "Run as administrator"

Dalam hal ini kendala utamanya adalah semua metode diatas membutuhkan operator untuk melakukannya. Yang mana kita harus selalu melakukan metode diatas berulang ulang setiap kali booting ulang atau restart windows.

Untuk solusi dari masalah tersebut adalah dengan menambahkan beberapa baris kode program di dalam file *.bat sehingga file *.bat tersebut dapat bekerja sebagai administrator secara otomatis tanpa memerlukan instruksi tambahan dari operator ataupun file tambahan. Berikut kode perintah program yang perlu ditambahkan dibaris pertama dari file *.bat nya.

	@echo off
	:: BatchGotAdmin (Run as Admin code starts)
	REM --> Check for permissions
	>nul 2>&1 "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\cacls.exe" "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\config\system"
	REM --> If error flag set, we do not have admin.
	if '%errorlevel%' NEQ '0' (
	echo Requesting administrative privileges...
	goto UACPrompt
	) else ( goto gotAdmin )
	:UACPrompt
	echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) > "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
	echo UAC.ShellExecute "%~s0", "", "", "runas", 1 >> "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
	"%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
	exit /B
	:gotAdmin
	if exist "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" ( del "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" )
	pushd "%CD%"
	CD /D "%~dp0"
	:: BatchGotAdmin (Run as Admin code ends)
	:: Your codes should start from the following line

File *.bat yang diawal baris telah ditulis kode perintah program seperti diatas maka akan menjalankan program sebagai administrator. Selanjutnya tambahkan kode perintah program berikut untuk mendaftarkan hotspot wifi SSID dan passwordnya.

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=wifihotspotku key=1234asdf

Keterangan:

• SSID = adalah nama hotspot yang diinginkan, silahkan dirubah sesuai keinginan
• KEY = password atau security key dari hotspot yg dibuat

Apabila kode perintah sukses, maka respon dari OS adalah sebagai berikut.

Selanjutnya untuk mengaktifkan hotspot wifi yang telah didaftarkan diatas, tambahkan kode perintah program berikut.

netsh wlan start hostednetwork

Apabila kode perintah sukses, maka respon dari OS adalah sebagai berikut.

Kode perintah lengkapnya adalah sebagai berkut, selanjutnya simpan file dengan nama bebas, gunakan extension bat, dan taruh di dalam folder "AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup" agar pada saat windows start program batch ini akan langsung dieksekusi.

	@echo off
	:: BatchGotAdmin (Run as Admin code starts)
	REM --> Check for permissions
	>nul 2>&1 "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\cacls.exe" "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\config\system"
	REM --> If error flag set, we do not have admin.
	if '%errorlevel%' NEQ '0' (
	echo Requesting administrative privileges...
	goto UACPrompt
	) else ( goto gotAdmin )
	:UACPrompt
	echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) > "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
	echo UAC.ShellExecute "%~s0", "", "", "runas", 1 >> "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
	"%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
	exit /B
	:gotAdmin
	if exist "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" ( del "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" )
	pushd "%CD%"
	CD /D "%~dp0"
	:: BatchGotAdmin (Run as Admin code ends)
	:: Your codes should start from the following line
	netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=wifihotspotku key=1234asdf

Selanjutnya lakukan setting untuk mengaktifkan Sharing Internet Connection pada Windows 8. Buka Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center.

 Selanjutnya klik "Change Adapter Setting" di pojok kiri atas, untuk melihat Semua koneksi network yang tersedia di komputer, termasuk koneksi hotspot yang telah dibuat sebelumnya.

Seperti dilihat pada screenshoot gambar diatas, hotspot yang baru dibuat dikenali sebagai "Local Area Connection* 4", dengan nama SSID adalah "AirborneCamHotSpot".  Sekarang tinggal dipilih dari koneksi internet mana yang mau di share ke jaringan "Local Area Connection* 4". Bisa share internet dari Modem USB , Ethernet LAN ataupun dari WiFi luar.

Klik kanan pada koneksi network yang terhubung Internet (saat ini yang dicoba adalah dari Ethernet LAN yang terhubung dengan jaringan Internet Indihome SPEEDY), kemudian pilih property, klik tab "Sharing", dan kemudian centang checklist "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection".

Kemudian pilih "Home networking Connection:" sesuai LAN hotspot yang telah dibuat tadi, yaitu: "Local Area Connection* 4". Selanjutnya centang juga cheklist "Allow other network users to control or disable the shared Internet connection) dan klik OK.

 Dan selesai sudah semua, hotspot WiFi anda sudah siap diakses dari perangkat lain. Untuk mengeceknya silahkan cari dan coba sambungkan hotspot yang telah dibuat tadi dari WiFi Smartphone anda atau dari Laptop disekitar anda.
