Note
Note that some API defined features are placeholders and are not currently used by any PixeLINK cameras.
The following table shows which cameras support which features based on the most recent release of camera firmware.
The PL-S620, PL-A660 and PL-A650 products are not included in this list: for more information, please refer to the documentation that comes with each of these cameras.
The table has the following columns:
Feature - a short description of the feature or information that can be programmatically accessed. The table lists all IIDC defined features as well as the advanced PixeLINK specific features.
API - a reference to whether the PixeLINK API can access the feature and the method to do so. Yes indicates that the standard PxlGetFeature and PxlSetFeature API calls can be used. Special Function indicates that the API has a dedicated method of accessing the feature.

IIDC - a reference to the IIDC specification and whether the feature follows the standard IIDC feature set or whether it uses advanced control methods. Refer to IIDC PixeLINK Extensions for more information.
Supported By ... - the list of cameras that support that feature. See the specific feature topic for details relating to any particular camera.
