XIIMUS 4K CL User Manual. Model: 4096CT. Version 1.4
3.3.5.
Read software and firmware versions
The camera will reply to one of these commands with the function address followed by a
single byte that indicates the name of the current version of the software or firmware in use
according to the following table:
LOGIC#1 LOGIC#2
MCU
0-19
R
0-49
D

Example:
To obtain the MCU software version currently in use, send the 2-byte set 188 (decimal) and
194. The camera returns 188 and 108, which means that Y08 is currently in use.
3.4.
Read buffer (address 189)
The Read Buffer- command will output the current configuration settings in use in the camera
on the serial port. This command is not associated with any of the memory banks.

The data byte for this command is 189.
Once this command is issued, the camera outputs 64 command and data byte pairs. See
below in Memory functions for more details.

Memory functions (addresses 190 and 191)
The internal nonvolatile memory of the camera is divided into 64 so-called memory banks.
Each bank can save the status of all the sixty-four (addresses 192 to 255) registers. Each
register is made of 8 bits. Values can only be loaded from the memory as complete sets of 64
registers (memory banks).
TVI XIIMUS cameras have a volatile memory buffer, which is updated after each new
configuration setting to the camera (command and data pair). A copy of this buffer can be
saved to any of the user accessible memory banks and any of the memory banks can be
loaded into the buffer (overwrites the old values).
Memory bank 0 is automatically loaded, when the camera is powered up. The values are not
sent out on power-up. LOAD Bank 0 to read-out the power-up values. To read out the values
that are currently in use (but not saved), the Read Buffer-command can be used. Banks 60 to
63 cannot be written to, since they contain factory preset values.
