A carriage return (CR) ends each command.

There are two methods for entering the commands: In long form each command is
written in its entirety. In short form, only a predefined abbreviation is required. The
manual used the short form.
The following parameters are used in the manual:
i = integer
f = float
= string
s
t = tap
x1, x2 = pixel start and stop values
The camera will answer each command with either "OK >" or "Error x: Error Message
>". The ">" is always the last character sent by the camera.
