Camera Registers
The Cheetah Pregius series of cameras are programmable and flexible. You can control all
of the cameras resources (internal registers, video amplifiers, and parameter FLASH). The
user communicates with the camera using a simple, register-based, command protocol via
the Camera Link serial interface. The interface is bi-directional with the user issuing
commands to the camera and the camera issuing responses (either status or info) to the
user. You can also configure and monitor the camera registers and resources. The
camera’s parameters
are programmed using the Cheetah Sony Configurator graphical
user interface.
A.1 Camera Register Structure
The register space is structured in four main sections:
1.
Camera Local Space
–
starting address 0x6000. This space contains all local
camera settings, test registers, user command, FW info and all camera status
registers
2.
Camera Manufacturing Space
–
starting address 0x7000. This space contains
all camera manufacturing information. Writing to the Manufacturing space is
allowed only when the Supervisory mode is enabled.
3.
Camera EEPROM
–
starting address 0x5000. This space contains the “Boot
From” settings.
4.
Camera Factory Space
–
This space contains all camera registers. This space
can be replicated with changes to User (1, 2, 3, and 4) spaces. Save to Factory
space is allowed only when the “Supervisory" mode is enabled.
