The action_cmd_demo demonstrates how to send an action command to an available Genie Nano camera on a network. The demo uses action command 1 with the default device key, group key and group mask.

Camera features must be set to accept an action command as a trigger input. To do so, the nano_trigger_demo program can be used to configure a Genie Nano to trigger to acquire an image on receipt of action command 1. The camera must be in an active acquisition state (active snap or grab) to accept the action command trigger. Note that a separate terminal is required to run both programs (action_cmd_demo and nano_trigger_demo) concurrently

Alternately, the camera can be manually configured to accept an action command, using the GenICam trigger features supported by the device; refer to the device documentation for more information.
