Re: Testing an HP82242 IR Module with a digital camera (or...) Message #4 Posted by Vieira, Luiz C. (Brazil) on 22 Oct 2009, 9:42 p.m., in response to message #3 by Chan Tran
Hi, Chan Tran.
I set 0 DELAY, put the IR module in TRACE, take a digital camera and turn it ON, execute CAT 2 in the HP41 and point the camera lens to the IR output, as if your camera is the IR printer (HP82242A/B). You´ll see the flashes of the IR LED in the display of the camera as if it is a white LED. You can use a cell phone with a camera, too; works the same. I also tested with a MP5 with a camera. You just need to point the camera straight to the IR output.
This test only lets you know if the IR output is emitting anything, not if the data is valid. In this case, you´d need an HP82240A/B or something else to analyze the output data, right?
If you do not succeed let me know and I´ll try to capture it in a short movie.
Success!
