4 Camera Control
The functions of the camera can be controlled by commands through serial
communication. There are two ways to do this: by sending commands directly over
serial communication, or by using NCamCtrl (camera control software).
Once the camera is configured, the camera will operate properly without using serial
communication.
4.1 Flow of Camera Control
4.1.1 Command Overview
The command consists of a simple combination of ASCII codes.
⚫
Communication is initiated by sending a control command from the PC to the
camera.
⚫
The camera analyzes the received control command and executes the control
according to the received control command.
⚫
The communication is terminated by sending back the result of the received
control command analysis from the camera to the PC.
◆
The next communication should be started after one communication is
completed. (One command is one communication.)
