10.0  SOFTWARE CONTROL FUNCTIONS 
10.1 Software Interface Description 
The software communication interface is accomplished across a single hardware communications 
channel.  The camera responds to either VISCA commands or Pelco D commands. The channel is 
factory selectable to be either RS-422 or RS-232 and the baud rate is set at 9600k by default.  This 
channel carries command/status data for all three devices;...
