Can I Programmatically Change the Baud Rate of a Camera Link Card?

Hardware: Image Acquisition (IMAQ)>>Digital Image Devices>>PCI-1428, Image Acquisition (IMAQ)>>Digital Image Devices>>PXI-1428, Image Acquisition (IMAQ)>>Digital Image Devices>>PCIe-1427, Image Acquisition (IMAQ)>>Digital Image Devices>>PCIe-1430, Image Acquisition (IMAQ)>>Digital Image Devices>>PCI-1426, Image Acquisition (IMAQ)>>Digital Image Devices>>PCI-1427

Problem:
I know PCI, PCIe, and PXI Camera Link cards support several standard baud rates for serial communication to my Camera Link camera, but can I change the baud rate programmatically?

Solution:
No, you cannot change the baud rate of a Camera Link card programmatically. The baud rate needs to be changed in the camera file before opening a session to the camera. 

You can manually change the baud rate by editing the camera file in the NI Camera File Generator:

Using a new or existing camera file, select Settings»Serial Settings. In the Port Settings section, select a baud rate from the Baud Rate drop-down menu.
