The TIS shall have a remote computer con- trol input/output. The remote control shall be implemented with a remote control box which shall be provided in place of the standard local control box. 3.12.2 Configuration. The remote computer control box shall be func- tionally and physically as similar as possible to the standard control box. It shall be coupled to the camera head in the same manner as the standard control box. 3.12.3 Computer Interface. Interface to the user's computer shall be over a three wire control cable, supplied by the user, and ending in a 3 pin Bendix quick lock connector. The remote control box shall sup- port a transmit message, a receive message, and a ground connection. The control commands and software protocal definitions shall be compatable with either the Inframetrics imager (Reference Inframetrics Model IRTV-445L LORIS, November 1987 manual) or the AGEMA imager (Reference AGEMA Thermovi- sion 1000 LR 60 Operating Manual, Publication No 557 053, Ed 2, Eng., Feb- ruary 1996). 3.12.4 Serial message specification.
