Communication Protocol for AP-1600/3200T-PMCL <Rev01>
22. Nov. 2018 JAI Corporation
All configuration of the camera is done via the RS-232C port. The camera can be set up from a PC running terminal
emulator software.
Below is the description of the ASCII based short command protocol.
１.Model name
AP-1600T-PMCL 1.58M pixels CMOS RGB Color
AP-3200T-PMCL 3.18M pixels CMOS RGB Color

３.Protocol（Short ASCII Command）
３.１.Transmit the setting command to camera
NN is any kind of the commands.
NN=[Param.]<CR><LF>
e.g.
Send to camera: GA=0 <CR><LF>
Camera response: COMPLETE<CR><LF>
When camera receives the valid command, camera will return 'COMPLETE'.
If camera receives the command, camera will return following:
e.g.
Send to camera: GAX=0 <CR><LF>
Camera response: 01 Unknown Command!!<CR><LF>
e.g.
Send to camera: GA=1000 <CR><LF>
Camera response: 02 Bad Parameters!!<CR><LF>
３.２.Transmit the request command to camera
The status of camera's settings can be queried by transmitting NN?<CR><LF>, where NN is any kind of the
commands.
The camera will return the current setting data.
e.g.
Send to camera: GA? <CR><LF>
Camera response: GA=0<CR><LF>

３.３.Switching baud rate between PC and camera
Camera always starts up with 9600bps. This can be switched to higher baud rates after a communication has been
established. When switching to other baud rate the procedure is as follows.
e.g. Change baud rate to 115200bps
1. Confirm baud rates camera supported
Send to camera: SBDRT? <CR><LF>
Camera response: SBDRT=31(0x1F)<CR><LF>
2. Request new baud rate
Send to camera: CBDRT=16(0x10) <CR><LF>
Camera response: COMPLETE<CR><LF>
(Change baud rate to 115200bps)
3. Rewrite new baud rate again with new baud rate (Confirmation command)
Send to camera: CBDRT=16(0x10) <CR><LF>
Camera response: COMPLETE<CR><LF>
In case the camera does not receive the confirming command with new baud rate within 250ms after
sending the acknowledge it falls back to the original baud rate (9600bps).
