Short ASCII Commands

The most universal method for controlling a Camera Link camera such as this camera is by the use of
short ASCII commands sent via serial communications. All Camera Link frame grabber boards
support the use of these short ASCII commands. SDKs that utilize these ASCII commands for
developing machine vision applications are typically available from the grabber manufacturer, as well
as from third-party vendors.
This section describes how to configure various camera settings using serial communication and
specific short ASCII commands. A complete list of all available ASCII commands for this camera is
included in the Short ASCII Command List
This camera fully supports applications written using GenICam-based SDKs. The advantage of this is
that programs written using GenICam names can be applied with little or no modification to control
cameras with other GenICam-compliant interfaces and even GenICam compliant cameras from
different vendors.
