viscatest is a .NET console application designed to communicate with SONY VISCA-compatible cameras via a serial (COM) port. The application allows users to control camera zoom, focus, and iris settings using simple keyboard inputs. The zoom functionality operates at maximum speed, and all communication is based on standard VISCA protocol commands.

Note: This is a work-in-progress project and is not production-ready.
