Here you can find a brief description of the Leica CAM commands.
Currently leicacam have implemented some convenience methods:
- start_scan
- stop_scan
- pause_scan
- enable
- disable
- enable_all
- disable_all
- save_template
- load_template
- get_information
But all commands can be sent like this:
command = [('cmd', 'enableall'),
('value', 'true')]
