The Camera Control Tool for Windows 2000/XP can be downloaded from
www.jai.com
.
The control tool contains a camera control program and a developer's kit for integrating the
control tool in your own software. For the integrator and experienced user, the Camera Control
Toll is much more than a program with a window interface. It also provides an easy and efficient
ActiveX interface built for MS Windows 2000/XP. The OCX interface has the ability to connect to
the camera using the serial interface of the PC by reading and writing properties for the camera.
This integration requires simple programming skills within Visual Basic, Visual C++ or similar
languages in a Microsoft Windows environment.

Control Tools have a Communication Window and an About Window. The other window(s) contains
