Managing camera settings 6.
This chapter describes the individual camera functions and settings. The specific commands and their
effect on the camera operation are described in detail.
Command parameters 6.1
All commands are composed of a command keyword and the required parameters for that specific
command. Parameters for the camera command set are signed integer values. Negative values
must start with a negative (–) character. Positive values do not need a preceding character but may
optionally start with a positive (+) character. The integer values are transmitted as text using the
characters ‘0’ … ‘9’.In case of more than one parameter, the parameter values are separated by a
semicolon “;“. In addition, a string is possible as a command (one parameter string).
NOTE: Everything after “ is part of the string.
Command response messages 6.2
Parameter(s) regarding the settings of the camera can be set by command. Each command ending
with a question mark (?) is a query command. After the acknowledgement, the camera sends the
query value(s) for that command. In case of more than one value, the returned values are separated
with a semicolon (;). Values are preceded with negative (–) character when negative and a positive (+)
character when positive.
For example: OR? returns a message for e10 as the current output resolution.
OFRM? returns a message like +2;+8
Command description 6.3
Identification commands 6.3.1.
Build state of the camera
This command returns a string of numbers that exactly describes the camera build state.
Command format: BS?
Return Message: ”x.xx;y.yy;z.zz
Where x.xx indicates the issue of the camera. Minor changes in the camera will increase the part after
the decimal point. Major changes in the camera will increase the first digit. Cameras with the same
major issue number are fully interchangeable.
Where y.yy indicates the microcontroller firmware version (*)
Where z.zz indicates the programmable logic firmware version (*)
*: These values are retrieved from the devices. They are of low importance to a user. A change that will
influence the functionality of the camera will result in a camera issue change.
