Camera Control Commands

General

The XCL-5000 can be controlled externally via a serial 
communication using such communication software as 
“HyperTerminal” or “Tera Term”.

Serial Communication 
Specifications

The serial communication system is an asynchronous 
method compliant with RS-232C. The following table 
shows the transmission control specifications. 
Command inputs are echoed back.

Command system

Command format

To input or send a command, input a command name 
and concomitant parameters setting off with spaces, and 
press [Enter] (Carriage Return) key.
The following are input format and input examples.
<Input format>

command param1 param2 param3 [enter]

<Input example>

PARTIAL 1 0 15 <CR>

Notes

• Do not omit a command and parameters before the last 

one. But the parameter stated inside the double 
brackets like ([Parameter]) can be omitted. 
Regarding the parameter without setting value, it will 
be processed in the present value.

• Input alphabets are not case-sensitive.
• Input parameters of decimal number.

Command input and response

The camera returns an echo to valid inputs: letters of the 
alphabet, numbers, “+”, “-”, “.”, spaces, backspaces and 
[Enter] (Carriage Return).
Input of letters and symbols other than those above are 
ignored.

• When command execution is completed normally, 

“OK” is displayed.
<Input>

PARTIAL 1 0 15 <CR>

<Window display>

OK <CRLF>

• When command execution is not completed normally, 

“ERROR STATUS” is displayed. Also, details of the 
execution are displayed for some commands (saying 
later for each command).

• If a value out of the range is input as a parameter, the 

input command is invalidated and “ERROR 
SYNTAX” is displayed.
<Input>

PARTIAL 1 0 20 <CR>

<Window display>

ERROR SYNTAX <CRLF>

• If an invalid command is input, “ERROR SYNTAX” 

is displayed.
<Input>

PART 1 0 20 <CR>

<Window display>

ERROR SYNTAX <CRLF>

• When [Enter] key is pressed with no command input, 

only the carriage return is carried out.
When an invalid letter or symbol is input, it is ignored.
