Extended version information register
The presence of each of the following features can be queried by the 0 bit of the
corresponding register.
The μC version and FPGA firmware version numbers are bcd-coded, which means
that e.g. firmware version 0.85 is read as 0x0085 and version 1.10 is read as
0x0110.
The newly added VERSION_INFOx_EX registers contain extended bcd-coded ver-
sion information formatted as special.major.minor.patch.
So reading the value 0x00223344 is decoded as:
• special: 0 (decimal)
• major: 22 (decimal)
•minor:33 (decimal)
•patch:44 (decimal)
This is decoded to the human readable version 22.33.44 (leading zeros are
omitted).
Note

• Currently all registers can be written without being acti-
vated. This makes it easier to operate the camera using
Directcontrol.
• Allied Vision reserves the right to require activation in
future versions of the software.
