Parameters and commands
This section explains the basic Bonito configuration parameters and general
commands available to the user. Parameters and commands are communicated
using the camera’s serial interface. For more information see chapter
Primary starting address (A)
The parameter
A
defines the line address of the image sensor that is the first line
of the output image. The value of
A
in conjunction with
N
and
I
is used to create
a region of interest (ROI1).
Range
From
0
(topmost line) to
6BD
(lowermost line)
Default
0

Parameters
B
,
D
,
N
and
I
Example
A=35E
(0x35E = 862), first line at address 862, that is the 863
rd
line of the
sensor
N=F
read 16 lines
I=2
read every second line
Note
In this section, all values and examples noted in
mono-
spaced font
are denoted in the hexadecimal numbering
system, if not otherwise noted.
In all cases, explicit base notation (e.g. 0x4711 or 045H) is
omitted to be directly compatible to the camera's command
interface syntax.
Example: to set
M
to the value of M=0x21,
use the command
M=21
.
Note
For more information on double ROI mode and a diagram dis-
playing the ROI parameters, see chapter
Each image sensor line can only be read once per exposure. Two
ROIs are only possible as long as they do not share the same
line addresses.
