GigE Vision Action Command Reference
An Action Command is a single Broadcast packet sent from the Host Software application to all
cameras connected on the same network. How cameras act on an Action Command depends on its
designed feature support. Cameras receiving the Action Command broadcast may have one or
multiple functions acting on that received command.
The GigE Vision® specification defines the Action Command mechanism, which applications can
use to trigger or even schedule various actions on one or more target devices. GigE Vision
compliant cameras can take advantage of this mechanism and be triggered using a broadcast
command over a subnetwork.Please refer to the GigE Vision® Specification — version 2.0 RC6, for
configuration and usage details. Contact Teledyne DALSA Support and request example code for
Action Command usage.
