GigE FC11000GE Instruction Manual page 25

The current content of the common mode flag register (2 bytes/4 characters) can be returned in the hexadecimal system.
(15) Command "RMF"
Function: Command for reading mode flag register (FR) (Read Mode Flag)
Transmission from host: STX: "RMF": ETX
Return by camera:
The current content of the mode flag register (2 bytes/4 characters) can be returned in the hexadecimal system.
(16) Command "SMC"
Function: Command for saving configuration flag register (CR) (Save Mode Configuration)
Transmission from host: STX: "SMC": ETX
Return by camera:
The current content of the common mode flag register can be saved in EEPROM.
(17) Command "RTMP"
Function: Command for reading data of internal temperature of camera (Read TeMPerature)
Transmission from host: STX: "RTMP": ETX
Return by camera:
The current content of the internal temperature data of the camera can be returned in the hexadecimal system.
The effective data is the low 10 bits out of the returned 16 bits. This 10 bit value presents a signed integer value in two's
complement form -511 to 511. Actual temperature in Celsius is calculated by multiplying the value by a certain factor.
→ Refer to "(4-6) Monitoring function for internal temperature of camera" for the conversion method from the returned
data to temperature value.
(18) Command "X"
Function: Command for generating asynchronous shutter trigger (eXecute Trigger)
Transmission from host: STX: "X": ETX
Return by camera:
When the camera is set to be in the asynchronous shutter mode (except in the time when the menu is being displayed),
this command enables the camera to update the image by internally generating the asynchronous trigger signal.
The internally generated trigger signal is of negative logic in 100ms±5%. The minimum value of repetitive pitch in
asynchronous shutter operation using this command is 300ms. Only in the case of trigger signal by this command, the
buzzer inside the camera sounds for one shot (aprrox. 50ms) in response to trigger signal input. If the buzzer is not
required to sound , make "Operation confirmation buzzer = OFF" changing the configuration flag by the configuration
menu setting or serial communication command.
(Note) When the command "X" is received, "ACK"(transaction completion) is returned even if the asynchronous shutter
mode is not selected or the menu is displayed (in the setting condition where the asynchronous shutter operation is
disabled by the command "X").
(Note) Since the command is executed through the serial communication, it does not quickly act unlike the normal trigger
signal. Therefore, it is recommended to use the commands only when no immediacy is required, for example, in
the case where the operation of the camera is checked for setting, or the moving velocity of an object to be shot is
extraordinary slow.
(19) Command "ARESET"
Function: Command for operation reset (All Reset)
Transmission from host: STX: "ARESET": ETX
Return by camera:
This command is used to restore the camera to the initial power-on state. As power –on processing is executed, Camera
Link output (synchronous signal, image signal etc.) gets temporarily indeterminate
(Note) This command corresponds to the operation when the camera is restarted after the power is turned off.
The data stored in EEPROM are not lost.
(Note) Only for this command, it can be accepted in the state of operation mode "Group 2","Group 3" or "Group 4".
STX: ACK: "RMF": flag set value: ETX (transaction completion), or STX: NAK: ETX (transaction
rejection)
STX: ACK: ETX (transaction completion), or STX: NAK: ETX (transaction rejection)
STX: ACK: "RTMP": internal temperature data: ETX (transaction completion), or STX: NAK: ETX
(transaction rejection)
STX: ACK: ETX (transaction completion), or STX: NAK: ETX (transaction rejection)
STX: ACK: ETX (transaction completion), or STX: NAK: ETX (transaction rejection)
