(6-5) Internal flag register and configuration register
There are RAM areas inside the camera consisting of flag register (FR) (2 bytes) and configuration register (CR) (4 bytes)
which defines the operational mode of the camera.
It is possible to recognize the current operational status with these register contents and to change multiple operational
modes at a time by rewriting the register contents using serial communication command.
The functions of each flag register and configuration register are described below.
●
Flag register (FR) and configuration register (CR)
The contents of the internal EEPROM (nonvolatile ROM) are retrieved at the time of startup and copied onto FR (two bytes,
16bit) and CR (four bytes, 32bit) which are the storage area on RAM. The camera decides the current operational mode in
accordance with the contents of FR and CR.
The one each of the contents of FR is saved on each program page (A to F) and that contents is copied onto the flag
register to decide the operational status by auto-loading on start-up or manual loading of program page. In contrast, the
contents of CR is saved on a single storage area on EEPROM and they are read out independently of program page to
decide the operational mode.
●
Contents of (FR) and (CR )
When the OSD menu is turned on, the contents of each register are displayed on the menu in twelve digits like
“MF=0000.0000.0000” representing the current status of the registers.
Each numerical value is displayed in hexadecimal system. And each part represents the set contents of configuration
register(CR(H)), configuration register(CR(L))and flag register(FR), from left.
