Version 1.08 (04/07) Manual: CMOS Industrial Camera LOGLUX i5Page 28 of 46 KAMERA WERK DRESDEN GmbHDescription of the LOGLUX i5 CL communication logThe configuration data are exchanged between the host system (PC/IPC) and LOGLUX i5 CLcamera by way of a line-oriented ASCII log. This method allows a platform-independent configurationof the camera from any terminal.All configuration commands consist of an command character string of up to four characters (letters)and of max. four parameters, depending on the command.Command and parameter are separated by a space character ($20, 'Space bar'). By actuating theENTER key ($0D $0A) - alternatively, by appending a nil character ($00) - the configuration data aresent to the camera.A comment may be appended to the configuration data by using a semicolon; the characters followingthe semicolon are ignored as configuration data.The following commands are available:Syntax Command Description Parameterhelp Help Displays a help text nonever Version Displays the current software version nonew ADR VAL Write register Writes value VAL to register ADR ADR = [$0...$FFFFFFFF]VAL = depends on registerr ADR Read register Reads value from register ADR ADR = [$0...$FFFFFFFF]d ADR Dump registerReads register bank as from registerADR (e.g. from the first register of afunction group)ADR = [$0, $100, $200 ...]see following description ofthe function groupsTable 1 : List of camera configuration commandsThe following parameter notations are possible:Number system/data format Syntax Value rangeHexadecimal byte $B $00...$FFBinary byte %B %00000000...%11111111Decimal byte #B #0...#255Hexadecimal word $W $0000...$FFFFBinary word %W %0000000000000000...%1111111111111111Decimal word #W #0...#65535Hexadecimal long $L $00000000...$FFFFFFFFBinary long %L %00000000000000000000000000000000...%11111111111111111111111111111111Decimal long #L #0...#4294967295Character string "String" Max. 255 char. with ASCII codes $21...$7ECharacter 'C Character with ASCII code $21...$7ETable 2 : Parameter notation for camera configurationThe above notation method is applied both to parameters transmitted to the camera and to data outputfrom the camera.In case of the parameters, left-hand zeros may be omitted. Strings up to a length of 32 characters areaccepted.The camera responds to a command request in a chronological order. However, prior to or after therequest for a command a message may be sent which is not related to that command.Every line of a message or response is closed with a cr character ($0D).Messages always have the following format:+Maskbyte String
