Message structure of commands sent over TCP/IP interface to Balluff camera
Most message elements are of type UINT16 and consist of 2 bytes. But over Ethernet one byte after the other is sent. The messages are transferred using the little-endian format. This means the lowest value byte is transferred first.

b. Set timestamp
c. Set input data
d. Set result number
e. Trigger inspection program
f. Start inspection program
g. Stop inspection program
h. Restart camera
i. Write log message - Messages to BVS Cockpit with an answer after an action
