•   There are two method s for entering the command s: In long form each command is 

w ritten in its entirety. In short form , only a p red efined  abbreviation is requ ired . The 
m anu al u ses the short form . 

•   The camera will answer each command with either "OK >" or "Error x: Error Message 

>". The ">" is alw ays the last character sent by the cam era. 

•   The following parameters are used in the manual: 

i

 = integer 

f

 = float 

s

 = string 

t

3.3 Processing Chain 

The figu re below  is a sim p lified  block d iagram  of the cam era's p rocessing chain. The 
analog p rocessing chain contains tw o elem ents–a gain stage and  an offset stage. The 
d igital p rocessing chain contains the FPN  correction, PRN U correction, backgrou nd  
su btract, and  a system  gain stage. The softw are com m and s allow  you  to set and  change 
all the elem ents of the p rocessing chain. This enables m axim u m  p rocessing flexibility

In ad d ition, the tw o elem ents of the an alog  p rocessing chain, an alog gain and  an alog
