[Command] RMEM

([Parameter 1]) <Setting value selection (None, 1 - 2)>

None: Camera setting value accession
1: Filter factor accession
2: LUT value accession

[Process] Sends the data which can be set by Serial 

communication and the camera information 
(version) to the camera control application.
Another command is not accepted during 
transmission of data.

[Data transmission] Transmits data continuously in each 

category.
The transmitting data are shown in decimal number.
The followings are transmission format and the
