8. Camera Control Tool for CV-A10CL/A70CL 

 
From www.jai.com Camera Control Tool for Windows 98/NT/2000 can be downloaded. 

The control tool contents a camera control program and tools for making your own program. 
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 98, ME, NT and 2000. 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.
