10-4 OVERVIEW OF COMMANDS
The external control commands are categorized into the five following groups.

Mode setting commands
 Parameter setting commands
 Correctional commands
 Other setting commands
 Status commands
(1) Mode setting commands
This group contains commands that switch the modes used in obtaining images.
AMD
Selects internal control or external control for the exposure trigger timing.
NMD
Switches the method used to set the exposure time when the exposure
trigger timing is controlled internally.
EMD
Switches the method used to set the exposure time when the exposure
trigger timing is controlled externally.
SMD
Switches the scanning mode.
ADS
Switches the digital data output bit count.
(2) Parameter setting commands
This group contains commands for setting parameters such as exposure time and
digital output pixel count.
SHT
Sets the exposure time (sets the electronic shutter speed) when the
exposure trigger timing is controlled internally.
FBL
Sets the exposure time (sets the frame blanking count) when the exposure
trigger timing is controlled internally.
EST
Sets the exposure time when the exposure trigger timing is controlled
externally (sets the electronic shutter speed when the exposure time is set
internally).
SHA
Selects the pixel number of digital output horizontal.
ATP
Sets the external trigger pulse polarity to N (Negative) or P (Positive).
SPX
Sets the number of binning when binning is selected.
SHO
Selects the sub-array's horizontal start address.
SHW Selects the sub-array's horizontal line width.
SVO Selects the sub-array's vertical start address.
SVW
Selects the sub-array's vertical line width.
ESC
Selects input connector for external trigger.
(3) Correctional commands
This group contains commands for setting the contrast enhancement function and
other picture-correction settings.
CEG Sets the contrast enhancement gain.
