2.4. Zoom Trace Mode
Zoom Trace: If the zoom lens moves, the focus lens also moves. The focus lens will be
moved to a certain calculated position. So, the picture will be focused while the zoom lens
moves to the target zoom position.
Slow (Normal) Zoom Trace Mode (SZT):
It is a zoom trace mode that the zoom speed is Slow (normal).
2.5. Auto Zoom
The zoom lens will focus continually within the zoom range.
2.6. Focus Lens Control Mode
Auto Focus Mode
→ User cannot control the focus lens.
Manual Focus Mode
→ User can control focus lens in the restricted range calculated by the camera
microcomputer.
Special Focus Mode
→ User can control focus lens. The controllable range of the focus lens is the total
focus range (0FD ~ 516 hex). In this mode, the focus lens is controlled by the user
only.
(!) Auto/Manual mode is called as default.
(!!) Even if the current focus mode is Special Mode, one can set the Auto and Manual Mode
as default focus mode.

3. Communication Format
20/21Z RS-232C Communication Format
Communication between camera and user is available by using RS-232C.
3.1. Parameter of RS-232C
Baud Rate: 9.6kbps
Start bit: 1
Stop bit: 1
Data bits: 8
None Parity
Flow control: XON/XOFF, RTS/CTS is not supported.
3.2. Packet Structure
The basic unit of communication is called “PACKET”. All bytes of the packet are ASCII
format. The first byte of the packet is called “Header”. The second and third bytes are “ID”
of the camera. The forth and the fifth bytes are “Command Message”. And from the sixth
to the ninth bytes is “Command Option”. The last two bytes are “Check sum” of the
packet.
The check sum is sum of 9 bytes (byte0~byte8).
The header must be ‘*’.
All bytes of the packet must be a Capital Letter.

Comm.
Revision: E Page 12 of 28
Figure 8. Command Packet Block
Issue Date: 3/25/2005
Page 13
3.3. Bytes of a packet
Byte 0: Header It must be the ASCII code ‘*’ (2A hex)
Byte 1: High character of camera ID
Byte 2: Low character of camera ID
Ex) current camera ID : 43 decimal
43 decimal = 2B hex
Byte 1: ASCII code ‘2’(32 hex)
Byte 2: ASCII code ‘B’(42 hex)
Byte 3, Byte 4: Command
Byte 5 ~ Byte 8: Option of command
Byte 9: High byte of check sum
Byte 10: Low byte of check sum
3.4. Check Sum Method
The value of check sum is calculated as follows:
Check Sum = Byte0 + Byte1+ … + Byte8
Ex) if ID = 43 d (2B hex), command = 75 hex,
command option = 0000
command byte0~byte8 : * 2B 75 0000
ASCII format: 2A 32 42 37 35 30 30 30 30
Sum = 2A+32+42+37+35+30+30+30+30
= 1CA hex
So, the Check Sum = CA
So the complete command packet.
= * 2B 75 0000 CA

3.5. Response from the camera
If the command packet is transmitted to the camera accurately, the camera will send the
‘response packet’. If the camera doesn’t receive the right command packet, it will not
send any response packet.
3.6. Response Time
Most of the response packet will be transmitted as soon as the camera received the
command packet.
This time is more than 2ms.
Figure 9. Response Packet Block
3.7. Communication Time Delay
When transmitting 1 packet (11 bytes), keep 2 milli-seconds waiting time between bytes.
After transmitting the first packet, wait for 25 ms to transmit next command packet.
Byte delay time > 2ms
Packet delay time > 25ms
*) Byte delay and Packet delay is a time delay for stable communication.

Revision: E Page 14 of 28

3.8. Advice for communication
If the command packet is transmitted only 4 bytes, then the camera will wait for remain 7
bytes continuously. At that moment, if a new packet is transmitted to the camera, the
previous 4 bytes will be ignored.
If the camera doesn’t send a response packet, there could be some problem in the
communication line or any other communication condition.
If the camera response mode is Skip Command response packet mode, then the camera will
not send Command response packet. Even if the response mode is Skip Command response
packet mode, the Data response packet will be transmitted to the PC.
4. Command List
20/21Z RS-232C Command Reference
All of commands must be capital letters.
‘*’: Header
‘X’: Don’t Care

4.1. Response Packet
If the camera receives any command, it will judge the Response packet. If the command
packet hasn’t any error, then the camera will transmit the response packet.
Command Response Packet
It is a response that the camera received the command packet correctly. It has none
information of camera status. It indicates only that the command is successfully
received.
