7.4. RS-232C control

All configuration of the CV-M2 camera is done via the RS-232C port on the 12 pin HR connector or via Camera Link. The control mode can be selected by the internal switch RS-232C/Camera Link. The camera can be set up from a PC running terminal emulator software, or using JAI´s camera control software.

Below is the description of the ASCII based short command protocol.
