3.5 Reading the Camera Type
This read command returns an 8-bit value unique to the type of camera interrogated. A 4M30 will
return a value of 4Bh when this command is issued. This is useful for applications that need to
function with multiple DALSTAR camera types.
Example: Read the camera type

3.6 Reading the Firmware Revision
This command returns a byte in which the lower nibble is the revision number for the clock board
firmware and the upper nibble is undefined. The ability to read this value may assist in customer
support issues.
Example: Read the firmware version

3.7 Resetting the ADC boards (“soft” reset)
When this command is issued, the microprocessor on the ADC board will restart execution as if
the micro was just powered up. This causes the dark reference control loop to restart at its initial
values before settling in to the calibrated dark reference level of approximately 50 counts. This is
useful because under some conditions, issuing a soft reset to the ADC board’s microprocessor after
camera operating conditions have changed will improve the rate at which the offset control loop
pulls into the calibrated level.
