Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed that facilitate permitting a user to select one of a plurality of job setups stored in a camera sensor. The plurality of job setups can be pre-programmed into the sensor utilizing conventional methods. During sensor operation, a user can select a particular application, and a simple signal can be generated for transmission over existing input/output lines to the camera sensor, upon receipt of which the camera sensor can initiate the particular job setup associated with the signal. Job setup signals can be formatted in binary utilizing HIGH and LOW voltages or can be transmitted as a simple Morse Code message and/or integer value.
