Data format for Register-addresses and Data

 

For normal  operation,  it  is  not  necessary  to  write  the  registers.  An  initialization  of  the 
scanner is not necessary. 
The control commands are composed as follow: 

 

 

 

Bit No.

 

Meaning

 

value = 0

 

value = 1

 

control command

 

6 to 0

 

Data

Identified

 

Datas are address

 

Datas are register value

 

 

To be able to write the register value, first the register address will be sent, followed by 
the  value. The  register  address  that  was  set  will  be  maintained  until  a  new  register 
address is sent. 
In cases of double registers, the register value will be assumed only after the writing of a 
higher-quality register. 
In  cases  of  control  registers  in  which  the  column  "Bit  No."  is  marked  with  "*",  it  is 
sufficient to write the register address to perform the function. 
Registers that are not included in the table in section 8.2, should not be addressed.
