OPT 20-ft. Serial Cable for ImagesPlus Software
This 20' serial cable was designed for use with ImagesPlus Imaging Software. The ImagesPlus software connects to the camera via the USB cable for downloading images, setting capture mode, ISO settings, etc. However the USB control is limited to 30 second exposures. While the Digital Rebel has a "bulb" setting for unlimited manual shutter control, it is only accessible through the camera's remote shutter control port. This port is intended for connection of external timers and switches that simulate a cable shutter release in a conventional film camera. This is where a special cable is required between a PC and the camera.
ImagesPlus supports control of the camera through a PC's parallel port. The latest versions of the software also supports control from a serial port as well for those without an available parallel port such as some laptop users. It has been noted that there seems to be a great deal of uncertainty about how various combinations of USB-to-parallel port adapters, laptops and operating systems work (or not) with these programs, so the serial port cable has been developed specifically to support those users. USB-to-serial port adapters seem to universally work fine. In either case, the cable contains the electronics required to perform logic inversion of the port signals and to drive the camera's shutter and auto-focus mechanism's.Features- Custom machined manufactured
