3.4.1 Camera Configuration Memory
Tiger cameras have built-in configuration memory divided into the following segments:
one workspace, one factory space, and four user spaces (#1, #2, #3, and #4).
The workspace is RAM based memory containing the current camera settings when the
camera is powered up and operational. It also holds the camera registers. The registers
are programmable, and you can retrieve them by issuing commands. At power down, the
camera clears all registers.
The factory space is ROM based and write protected. It contains the camera’s default
configurations. This space is programmed at the factory with the default configuration.
User space #1, user space #2, user space #3, and user space #4 are non-volatile, flash
memory. They store user-defined camera configurations. Upon power up, the camera
loads the workspace registers from the factory-space or from user space #1, user space
#2, user space #3, or user space #4 as determined by the boot control register stored in
the configuration memory. The boot control register is programmable. At any time, you
