    The CMV-50 serial interface was developed for high reliability applications. The interface incorporates error checking and a handshake protocol, which responds with either a positive or negative acknowledge signal. The communication path from the frame grab- ber to the CMV-50 is through the Camera Link cable.

    COMMAND DESCRIPTIONS Read Command Structure The CMV-50 camera parses the sequence byte by byte. An invalid read command, target , or index will cause the camera to issue a NACK. The Host (the user) will generate dummy data with a valid checksum then an end. The camera will respond with an ACK and re-send the command with valid data and checksum.
