4 Camera Control
The camera can be controlled through serial communication. Two methods can
be used to change the camera
’s parameters. The first approach is to change
parameters using
NCCtrl02
(Camera control software). (See
“8
NCCtrl
”.) Or you
can also change the parameters directly from your application by using binary
read/write commands to set values in the camera register.
The camera can be used without the serial interface after it has been set up
correctly.
4.1 Flow of Camera Control
4.1.1 Command Overview
The serial interface uses a simple ASCII-based command.
Communication begins when the computer sends control commands to the camera.
The camera receives and interprets the computer commands and then executes
control operation accordingly.
Transmission ends when the camera returns the analyzed results of control
commands to the computer.
Always allow the previous transmission to end before starting the next transmission.
(Only one command can be sent per transmission.)
4.1.2 Command Format (PC to Camera Transmission)
Format
C [VAL] CR
CMD: Control text (1 Bytes)
VAL: Setting value (decimal, 1 Bytes x maximum 3 digits)
※
When there is no set value, it is unnecessary.
CR:
Carriage Return (0x0D)
<Example>
t 0 CR
