Harrier Evaluation Board Features

Analog output (J301)	BNC connector to supply the analog video output that is supplied (when enabled) from the PWR/CTRL connector(s) (J3) on the camera interface board.
PGEN button (SW303)	Button, when pressed will activate the I/O signal (on J102) that causes the camera interface board to generate a test pattern video output. The test pattern will only be displayed whilst the button is being held down.
Reset button (SW304)	Button, when pressed it will activate the I/O signal (on J102) that causes the camera interface board to reset. Harrier AFZ cameras are not reset by this external signal; the CAM_Power VISCA command should be used to reset the camera.
Power (J306)	Power is supplied to the Harrier Evaluation Board from a 12V power supply via a barrel connector (J306). A connected camera and interface board are powered from the same supply via the Power Switch (SW302). When the Power Switch (and power supply) is switched ON the PWR ON LED will illuminate. The power supply is protected against reverse connection by a diode.
Serial communications/USB input	Serial camera/camera interface board control is provided by the USB interface (FTDi FT4232 Mini Module). A standard a USB Type A to mini USB Type B cable is used to connect the board to a PC. FTDI drivers are required to communicate with the FTDI module. These drivers are usually automatically installed on Windows 10. For Windows 7, it is recommended that the latest drivers are installed; these are available from here: https://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm The board USB connection will be seen by the PC software/OS as three standard virtual COM port connections. The number of each COM port is assigned by the software/OS being used. Windows Device Manager can be used to identify the three actual port numbers assigned. One of these will be the TTL serial interface to the camera.
Further information	The Harrier Evaluation Board datasheet, available in the download section, provides additional information on the board, including JTAG programming and firmware update, connector specifications of the board, test software, conformance and physical/environmental details. A photo and a diagram of the Harrier Evaluation Board can be viewed under the “other information” tab on this page as well as in the datasheet.
