Configuration Memory
The camera has a built-in configuration memory divided into 4 segments: ‘work-
space’, ‘factory-space’, ‘user-space #1’ and ‘user-space #2’. The ‘work-space’
segment contains the current camera settings while the camera is powered-up and
operational. All camera registers are located in this space. These registers can be
programmed and retrieved via commands issued by the user. The workspace is
RAM based and upon power down all camera registers are cleared. The ‘factory-
space’ segment is ROM based, write protected and contains the default camera
settings. This space is available for read operations only. The ‘user-space #1’ and
‘user-space #2’ are non-volatile, EEPROM based and used to store two user
defined configurations. Upon power up, the camera firmware loads the work-
space registers from either the factory-space, user-space #1 or user-space #2 as
determined by a ‘boot control’ register located in the configuration memory. The
‘boot control’ register can be programmed by the user (refer to Camera
Configuration Section) with the
‘sbf’
command. The user can, at any time,
instruct the camera to loads its workspace with the contents of either the ‘factory-
space’, ‘user-space #1’ or ‘user-space #2’. Similarly, the user can instruct the
camera to save the current workspace settings into either the ‘user-space #1’ or
‘user-space #2’.
