Command Protocol Overview
The camera accepts 8-bit command/value pairs via its
RJ-11 serial port using RS-232 compatible signals.
Camera commands are divided into two basic sets:
•
“clock” commands which apply to the electronics
that drive the image sensor. These include clock
generation, frame rate, integration time, and
binning. Clock commands effect the entire
camera, and are not channel specific. A single
command will impact all channels.
•
“ADC” commands which apply to the electronics that process and digitize the video. These
include gain and offset. ADC commands are channel specific. Four separate commands must
be issued to change all four channels.
