DRAFT

The value in the OpCode portion of the FTF field defines the function of the binary com-
mand, that is, whether it is a read command or a write command. The following
OpCodes are available:

The BCC-Code portion of the FTF field indicates the presence of a Block Check
Character (BCC). (the use of a BCC is optional.)

The AddrLen portion of the FTF field indicates the size of the command and status
register (CSR) address to which the command is being sent.

On A400k cameras, all CSR addresses are 16 bits.

Example of an FTF field:

Assume that you are issuing a write command, that you are using a BCC and that the
CSR address you are writing to is a 16 bit address. In this case, the OpCode bits would
be 0b00000, the BCC-Code bit would be 0b1 and the AddrLen bits would be 0b00. This
would result in a binary value of 0b00000100, which translates to a hex value of 0x04
for the FTF field.

OpCode

Function

0b00000

This is a write command used to write a single setting to the camera.

0b00001

This is a read command used to read a single setting from the camera.

0b00010

This is a read response frame without an address field.
(The AddrLen bits are ’don’t care’).

0b00100

This is a bulk write command used to upload a file into the camera.

0b00101

This is a bulk read command used to download a file from the camera.

0b00110

This is a bulk read response frame without an address field.
(The AddrLen bits are ’don’t care’)

BCC-Code

Function

0b0

This frame (and also the response frame) contains no BCC field.

0b1

This frame (and also the response frame) contains a BCC field.

AddrLen

Length of the Address Field

0b00

16 bits (= 2 bytes)

0b01

32 bits (= 4 bytes)

0b10

48 bits (= 6 bytes)

0b11

64 bits (= 8 bytes)
