The Camera Control Tool for Windows 2000/XP can be downloaded from
The control tool contains a camera control program and a developer's kit for integrating the
control tool in your own software. For the integrator and experienced user, the Camera
Control Toll is much more than a program with a window interface. It also provides an easy
and efficient ActiveX interface built for MS Windows 2000/XP. The OCX interface has the
ability to connect to the camera using the serial interface of the PC by reading and writing
properties for the camera. This integration requires simple programming skills within Visual
Basic, Visual C++ or similar languages in a Microsoft Windows environment.
8.1 Camera Control Tool Interface
The Camera Control Tool Software is based on a main Tool Bar and a number of associated Tool
Windows. Each button in the Tool Bar pops up a separate Tool Window when pressed. The layout
of the program can be adjusted by arranging the windows the way it is preferred. The program
will store this information and recreate this layout, when the program is restarted. All Camera
Control Tools have a Communication Window and an About Window. The other window(s) contains
camera control commands.
