The acceptable characters are English 1 byte characters (both upper and lower cases) and some special symbols as
shown below:
Usable special symbols······ SP(H'20), !(H'21), ’(H'27), +(H'2B), comma (H'2C), -(H'2D), .(a full stop mark)(H'2E),
/(H'2F), : (H'3A), ;(H'3B), <(H'3C), =(H'3D), >(H'3E), ?(H'3F), [(H'5B)], (H'5D), _ (H'5F)
(Note) When the number of the characters exceeds 15, (transaction rejection) is returned.
(Note) When the number of the characters is 0, the ID code is deleted.
(Note) Carefully note that ID is not correctly written when the character string to be sent includes an unusable character(s).
This case, however, is not regarded as error ((transaction rejection) is not returned).
(Note) This command does not execute the writing into EEPROM and therefore, the setting by this command is lost when
the power is turned off. If it is necessary to store the setting in EEPROM, transmit another command of “SID”.
(18) Command “SID”
Function: Command for saving camera ID (set by user) (Save ID)
Transmission from host: STX: “SID”: ETX
Return by camera:
STX: ACK: ETX (transaction completion), or STX: NAK: ETX (transaction rejection)
The data of the current ID code is saved in EEPROM.
(Note) The ID code (character string) is saved in a separate area from the program pages, and this common value (one
numerical number) is applied when the camera is turned on with any one of the program pages.
(Note) No ID code is stored before shipment.
(19) Command “RID”
Function: Command for reading out camera ID (set by user) (Read ID)
Transmission from host: STX: “RID”: ETX
Return by camera:
STX: ACK: “RID”: character string with 0 up to 15 characters: ETX (transaction completion), or
STX: NAK: ETX (transaction rejection)
The data (0 up to 15 characters) of the ID code (character string) is read out. When an ID code is not set, the number of
the characters to be returned is 0.
(20) Command “WVSUB”
Function: Command for writing Vsub value (CCD substrate voltage) (Write VSUB)
Transmission from host: STX: “WVSUB”: Vsub setting value: ETX
Return by camera:
STX: ACK: ETX (transaction completion), or STX: NAK: ETX (transaction rejection)
(Note) This command does not execute the writing in EEPROM, and the setting by this command is lost when the power
is turned off. To save the setting value in EEPROM, use another command, “SVSUB”.
(Note) FC1600FPL does not support this command.
(21) Command “SVSUB”
Function: Command for saving Vsub value (CCD substrate voltage) (Save VSUB)
Transmission from host: STX: “(SVSUB)”: ETX
Return by camera:
STX: ACK: ETX (transaction completion), or STX: NAK: ETX (transaction rejection)
The data of the current Vsub setting value is saved in EEPROM.
(Note) The Vsub value is saved in a separate area from the program pages, and this common value (one numerical
number) is applied when the camera is turned on with any one of the program pages.
(Note) FC1600FPL does not support this command.
(22) Command “RVSUB”
Function: Command for reading out Vsub value (CCD substrate voltage) (Read VSUB)
Transmission from host: STX: “(RVSUB)”: ETX
Return by camera:
STX: ACK: “RVSUB”: Vsub setting value: ETX (transaction completion), or STX: NAK: ETX
(transaction rejection)
The contents of “Vsub setting value” (1 byte/2 characters) is read out.
(Note) FC1600FCL does not support this command.
(23) Command “RMG”
Function: Command for reading MGC gain (Read MGC GAIN)
Transmission from host: STX: “RMG”: ETX
Return by camera:
STX: ACK: “RMG”: MGC setting value: (MGCB setting (right screen)): ETX
(!) FC1600FPL does not use the values in parentheses.
