Serial Interface
Fire-i industrial cameras are equipped with SIO (Serial input/output) feature described in the IIDC 1.31 specification.
By using the serial interface, users can execute commands by writing data in a specific address in the FireWire address
range. SIO can be further used as a RS232 interface which supports pass through and custom commands.
