(16) Command “ARESET”
Function: Command for operation reset (All RESET)
Transmission from host: STX: “ARESET”: ETX
Return by camera:
STX: ACK: ETX (transaction completion), or STX: NAK: ETX (transaction rejection)
This command is used to reset the camera to the initial power-on state.
(Note) This command responds to the operation when the camera is restarted after the power is turned off. The data
stored in EEPROM are not lost.
(Note) Only this command is received in the operation modes of “Group 2”, “Group C” and “Group D”.
<The following commands are exclusively for FS5000HECL/ FC2000CL/FC2000FCL, and not common with other FC
cameras.>
(17) Command “WID”
Function: Command for writing camera ID (set by user) (Write ID)
Transmission from host: STX: “WID”: character string with 0 up to 15 characters: ETX
Return by camera:
STX: ACK: ETX (transaction completion), or STX: NAK: ETX (transaction rejection)
The acceptable characters are English 1 byte characters (both upper and lower cases) and some special symbols as
shown below:
Usable special symbols······ SP(H'20), !(H'21), ’(H'27), +(H'2B), comma (H'2C), -(H'2D), .(a full stop mark)(H'2E),
/(H'2F), : (H'3A), ;(H'3B), <(H'3C), =(H'3D), >(H'3E), ?(H'3F), [(H'5B)], (H'5D), _ (H'5F)
(Note) When the number of the characters exceeds 15, (transaction rejection) is returned.
(Note) When the number of the characters is 0, the ID code is deleted.
(Note) Carefully note that ID is not correctly written when the character string to be sent includes an unusable character(s).
This case, however, is not regarded as error ((transaction rejection) is not returned).
(Note) This command does not execute the writing into EEPROM and therefore, the setting by this command is lost when
the power is turned off. If it is necessary to store the setting in EEPROM, transmit another command of “SID”.
(18) Command “SID”
Function: Command for saving camera ID (set by user) (Save ID)
Transmission from host: STX: “SID”: ETX
Return by camera:
STX: ACK: ETX (transaction completion), or STX: NAK: ETX (transaction rejection)
The data of the current ID code is saved in EEPROM.
(Note) The ID code (character string) is saved in a separate area from the program pages, and this common value (one
numerical number) is applied when the camera is turned on with any one of the program pages.
(Note) No ID code is stored before shipment.
(19) Command “RID”
Function: Command for reading out camera ID (set by user) (Read ID)
Transmission from host: STX: “RID”: ETX
Return by camera:
STX: ACK: “RID”: character string with 0 up to 15 characters: ETX (transaction completion), or
STX: NAK: ETX (transaction rejection)
The data (0 up to 15 characters) of the ID code (character string) is read out. When an ID code is not set, the number of
the characters to be returned is 0.
●
Note in use of commands
●
The internal nonvolatile ROM (EEPROM) guarantees the rewritable times up to 1 million based on the specifications of
the device. Accordingly, it is highly recommended to avoid such usage as the commands accompanied by writing in
EEPROM including “WA to WF”, “SMC” and “e” are repeated endlessly (or almost endlessly) in the program loop on
the user side.
