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 command
prompt ">" is returned. There is an input buffer holding a few characters
but no hardware handshake. Thus a sequence of commands should not be send to
the camera without awaiting the intermediate input prompts. Otherwise the
camera’s serial input buffer may overflow.
How to use Help
---------------
To see this help text type the following command:
?=1[CR]
Conventions
-----------
<p8> : 8 bits long parameter value (1 to 2 Hex characters)
<p16> : 16 bits long parameter value (1 to 4 Hex characters)
<aa00_*bbb> : 8 bits long parameter (resulting in two hex chars)
consisting of bit fields. The function of each bit field is
described, like this:
"aa" : Lower case letters label the bits of interest.
"00" : These bits have to be zero.
"_" : Separation character for readability.
"*" : Marks a don´t care bit, should be written as "0".
"bbb" : Bit fields may have any length.
(*) : Some commands are only accessible in a special password protected
administrator mode.
