For the integrator and experienced user, the Camera Control Tool is much more than a program
with a window interface- It also provides an easy and efficient ActiveX interface built for MS
Windows 98, ME, NT and 2000. The OCX interface has the ability to connect to the camera using
the serial interface of the PC by reading and writing properties for the camera. This integration
requires simple programming skills within Visual Basic, Visual C++ or similar languages in a
Microsoft Windows environment.
