3.1 How to Control the Camera
The 4M30’s RS-232-compatible serial interface allows you to control its configuration and
operation, including:
• Triggering Mode
• Frame Rate
• Integration Time
• Gain
• Offset
• Reset
Command Protocol Overview
The camera accepts 8-bit command/value pairs
via its RJ-11 serial port using RS-232 compatible
signals.
Camera commands are divided into two basic
sets:
•“clock” commands which apply to the
electronics that drive the image sensor. These
include clock generation, frame rate,
integration time, and binning. Clock commands effect the entire camera, and are not
channel specific. A single command will impact all channels.
•“ADC” commands which apply to the electronics that process and digitize the video.
These include gain and offset. ADC commands are channel specific. Four separate
commands must be issued to change all four channels.
