Bonito Technical Manual V2.2.1

To query a parameter value, just send the corresponding command letter fol-

lowed by the equality sign and a question mark character:

>s=?[CR]

If the intended action does not need any parameter it is also sufficient in most

cases – as a shortcut – to send the command letter only, directly followed by

[CR].

At the beginning of a command sequence it is good practice to check the serial

communication by sending just a [CR] to the camera and verify that the com-

mand prompt > is returned.

Note



There is an input buffer holding a few characters but no hard-

ware handshake. Thus a sequence of commands should not be

sent to the camera without awaiting the intermediate input

prompts. This is especially important for serial command pro-

cessing through user-developed software routines. Otherwise

the camera’s serial input buffer may overflow.
