Description of the LOGLUX
i5 CL communication log
The configuration data are exchanged between the host system (PC/IPC) and LOGLUX
i5 CL
camera by way of a line-oriented ASCII log. This method allows a platform-independent configuration
of the camera from any terminal.
All configuration commands consist of an command character string of up to four characters (letters)
and of max. four parameters, depending on the command.
Command and parameter are separated by a space character ($20, 'Space bar'). By actuating the
ENTER key ($0D $0A) - alternatively, by appending a
nil
character ($00) - the configuration data are
sent to the camera.
A comment may be appended to the configuration data by using a semicolon; the characters following
the semicolon are ignored as configuration data.
The following commands are available:

Table 2 :
Parameter notation for camera configuration
The above notation method is applied both to parameters transmitted to the camera and to data output
from the camera.
In case of the parameters, left-hand zeros may be omitted. Strings up to a length of 32 characters are
accepted.
The camera responds to a command request in a chronological order. However, prior to or after the
request for a command a message may be sent which is not related to that command.
Every line of a message or response is closed with a
cr
character ($0D).
Messages always have the following format:
+Maskbyte String
