8.7 Remote Command Channel Configuration

This section describes the commands that are supported to communicate with a Vision sensor. All commands
are case-insensitive

8.7.1 Remote Command Set

All RCC commands are case-insensitive. Valid characters for commands are 7-bit ASCII alphabetic or numeric
characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9), dash (-) and underscore (_).

All commands have the following structure:

ACTiON OBJECT_IDENTIFIER QUALIFIER(S)

ACTION is an operation the user intends to perform on the OBJECT_IDENTIFIER. There are three possible
actions available:

• GET — used to retrieve information associated with the named object. This information can be a

Boolean value, and unsigned or signed number, a string or, for complex objects like the
Communications tool, a field-delimited record that includes other data types.

• SET — used to assign a value to a named object.
• EXEC — used to execute a pre-defined functional object or activity in the sensor. Activities may

take object identifiers as parameter qualifiers.

The table below identifies objects that are supported in the current RCC release, their identifiers, and the
corresponding actions that they will support. Items highlighted in bold are command keywords. Flag objects
are appended with the FLG suffix, status objects are appended with the STS suffix, and counters are appended
with the CNT suffix.
