8.6.7 0x06 Exposure delay Serial Command
This sets the frame rate. The exposure time plus the exposure delay is the frame
rate. This is only used in free running mode. Set to 5,600,000 by default (10
frames per second).
Note: Frame Rate = 1.0 / (15ns * (reg(5)+reg(6)))
8.6.8 0x07 Readout Image Serial Command
This command simulates an activation of CC2. See above for it’s effect, but it
mostly causes a stored image to be sent to the host.
8.6.9 0x08 Reset Memory Serial Command
This command simulates an activation of CC3. See above for it’s effects, but it
mostly erases or resets the image memory.
8.6.10 0x09 Set Data Funnel mode Serial Command
This sets the Data-Readout-Mode, see the section above, for the values.
8.6.11 0x10 Trigger Image Capture Serial Command
This simulates an activation of CC1. See above for it’s effect, but it mostly just
causes an image to be taken from the sensor, and sent to the host, or memory.
8.6.12 0x20 Set Trigger Mode Serial Command
This allows you set the trigger mode (CC1), the options are free run, CC1 edge
or CC1 level. See the section on exposure above.
8.6.13 0x30 Write Flash Memory Serial Command
This allows the user to data to flash memory. This command is disabled in the
standard camera. The Flash memory holds the FPGA programs, and other
values needed to make the camera operate. Should you wish to store some
data in the Flash there is room. For more details contact FastVision.
8.6.14 0x31 Read Flash Memory Serial Command
This allows the user to read back what is in flash in the camera. This command
is not disabled, so if you like read it out. If you want to understand its content
please contact FastVision for details.
8.6.15 0x40 Load the Data FPGA Serial Command
This command allows custom FPGA code to be uploaded to the camera. In
situations where a user has more than one set of IP for use with the camera this
command can be used to upload the FPGA. Note this can take 5 minutes via the
serial port at 115K baud.
8.6.16 Other Serial Commands
See the table below for additional serial commands.
