SENDING AUXILIARY COMMANDS TO A DEVICE
The DX8000 auxiliary feature allows you to control external equipment connected to the auxiliary outputs of Spectra domes or Esprit positioning
systems. The auxiliary function is implemented through the D Protocol and P Protocol. In this case, the attached camera and DX8000 must be
configured to communicate using one of these protocols.
The Aux key selects the auxiliary mode. Buttons 1- 4 select which of the camera’s auxiliary outputs to operate. Buttons 1–4 operate as a toggle
(on/off) each time they are clicked.
For example, an Esprit equipped with a wiper uses Aux 1 to control the wiper. In this case, pressing Aux+1 sends a command to the Esprit to
operate the wiper. You must configure the camera to establish how the camera responds to an auxiliary command. For detailed information about
how a specific Spectra or Exprit camera system interprets auxiliary commands, refer to the documentation that accompanies your Spectra or
Esprit camera system.
To send an auxiliary command:
1. Click to enter the programming mode.
2. Select the camera in the DX8000 view panel to which you want to send the auxiliary command.
3. Click the Aux button.
