3 PROGRAMMING STRINGS
3.1 DEFINITIONS
Common definitions for each parameter are:
Depth (parameter depth)
Parameter depth indicates if the parameter is made up of a vector of values or a single value
(e.g. Gain parameter has depth > 1 since we have one Gain value for each recipe allowed;
Operating Mode parameter has depth =1).
Depth must be specified when preparing the escape programming string.
Example
: Image Acquisition Setting #3 enable/disable.
Label: Image Acquisition Setting
Escape Sequence <ESC> a #n [selection]

Type 3
: Bit Field
Type 4
