[Cancellation of external designation in shutter setting]
The shutter switch position set by "S command" or the external designation of the shutter exposure time (above two methods) is
applied ahead of (hypothetical) shutter switch position.
These shutter setting (the external designation of the shutter switch position and the shutter exposure time) is cancelled by
transmitting "0000" with "S" command as the exposure time parameter.
[Example] To restore the current shutter switch setting to the value designated by the (hypothetical) shutter switch.
Transmit as follows
Transmission from host: STX : "S...0000" : ETX
(7-3) How to set Mode switch
The mode switch is also hypothetical switch.
It can designate the program page on camera start-up by setting the mode switch position to any of A to F.
(!) It corresponds to the method setting the mode switch on the rear panel.
Command "WMSW"
●
Function: Command for writing the mode switch set value (Write Mode Switch)
Transmission from host: STX : "WMSW" : set value : ETX
Return by camera:
The "set value" (one character: "A" to "F") is written into mode switch.
※
(Note) Set contents by this command are all lost when the power is turned off as they are not written into EEPROM
(nonvolatile memory) by this command. Execute another command "SMSW"(Save Mode Switch) if it is needed to save
the set contents into EEPROM.
[Example] To set the mode switch to "C"
Transmit as follows
Transmission from host: STX : "WMSW" : "C" :ETX
Right figure shows the example of transmitting the command using
FCTool. The mode switch is set to "C".
Command "RMSW"
●
Function: Command for reading out the mode switch set value (Read Mode Switch)
Transmission from host: STX : "RMSW" : ETX
Return by camera:
The current "set value" (one character: "A" to "F") of the mode switch is read out.
※
[Example] To read out the current set value of mode switch
Transmit as follows
Transmission from host: STX: "RMSW": ETX
Right figure shows the example of transmitting the command using
FCTool. Set value of moder switch "F" is read out.
Command "SMSW"
●
Function: Command for saving the mode switch set value (Save Mode Switch)
Transmission from host: STX : "SMSW" : ETX
Return by camera:
The current "set value" (one character: "A" to "F") of the mode switch is saved into nonvolatile ROM.
※
[Explanation]
The set contents of the program page can not be read out by merely changing the program page settings.
The set contents designated in this page are automatically loaded when the set values are saved in nonvolatile ROM and restarted
(application of power or "ARESET") next time.
The mode switch position is set to "A" as default .The set contents stored in program page A is automatically loaded at start-up and the
operational mode is determined.
STX : ACK : ETX (transaction completion) or STX : NAK: ETX (transaction rejection)
STX : ACK : "RMSW" : set value : ETX (transaction completion) or STX : NAK : ETX (transaction
rejection)
STX : ACK : set value : ETX (transaction completion) or STX : NAK : ETX (transaction rejection)
