5 GigE Series Camera Serial Commands

You can control the GigE series cameras by serial command either using RS-232 or Camera Link. The Start character is always “:” and the End character is always <CR> (return). For example, to set Asynchronous Pulse Width Mode, send the command :ASH=9<CR> to the camera. Table 4 lists serial commands that can be used to control the camera.
