CameraLink Communication with DVR Express Core
CameraLink Registry Path For Serial Communication
From the start menu launch "regedit" to edit registry entries.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > cameralink and look at the CLSERIALPATH variable. Programs should search for the clserio3.dll in the Core installation directory ("C:\Program Files\IO Industries\DVR Express\Core\Bin"). It's a standard path that allows any program to communicate with CameraLink serial ports.
In the Core Api Administrator ("C:\Program Files\IO Industries\DVR Express\Core\Bin\core_api_administrator.exe") you can turn on CL Serial Module Debug Output. This will show additional logging in DbgView for programs attempting to access and use our clserio3.dll.
