7.2. RS-232C control

All configuration of the CV-A33CL camera is done via the RS-232C port on the 12 pin HR connector or via Camera Link. (Internal switch SW200 off for HR). The camera can be set up from a PC running terminal emulator software, or using JAIĀ“s camera control software. Below is the description of the ASCII based short command protocol.
