GigE Vision Action Commands

An Action Command is a single Broadcast packet sent from the Host Software application to all cameras connected on the same network. How cameras act on an Action Command depends on its designed feature support. Cameras receiving the Action Command broadcast may have one or multiple functions acting on that received command.

Please refer to the GigE Vision® Specification — version 2.0 RC6, for configuration and usage details. Contact Teledyne DALSA support and request example code for Action Command usage.
