4.9.3. SIO(RS232) Special Commands
0xF2F10018
Auto-Sync Mode control register
Bit 31 : auto sync enable
Bit 30 : SIO enable mode (0 : Custom mode, 1 : IIDC v1.31)
Bit 27 : auto sync complete (read only. 1: ready, 0: not yet auto-sync)
Read/Write
Custom commands are valid when the Bit30 is to be set “0”(zero).
SIO(RS232) custom commands are non IIDC compliant which is a specific mode for the cameras.
Before using these commands serial communication parameters must be set at Serial_Mode_Reg(F2F22000h)
F2F10018 means that the RS232 command is valid.

Command format : [STX] [Command] [Data] [ETX]
[STX] : Command start character : ‘S’
Command] : Command length is 2byte. See next page command table.
[Data] : Data length is varied with each command. Data format is hexadecimal: ‘0’~’9’, ‘A’~’F’.
[ETX] : Command end character : ‘Z’
Return value
‘G’ : Command complete acknowledge.
“Gdd..d” : “dd..d” is return data and hexadecimal character.
‘U’ : Undefined command.
Valid Character: ‘0’~’9’, ‘A’~’F’, ‘S’,’Z’ Invalid character is received is discarded.
Example: Gain setting command with 0x200 value.
All of “SA0200Z”, “S A0 200 Z”, “SA0 200Z”, “S A0200 Z”, and “SKA0V200Z” are parsed to
“SA0200Z Z”, and “SKA0V200Z” are parsed to “SA0200Z”.
