User profiles
Definition Within the IIDC specification user profiles are called memory channels. Often
they are called user sets. In fact these are different expressions for the follow-
ing: storing camera settings into a non-volatile memory inside the camera.
User profiles can be programmed with the following advanced feature register:
In general, this advanced register is a wrapper around the standard memory
channel registers with some extensions. In order to query the number of avail-
able user profiles please check the Memory_Channel field of the BASIC_-
FUNC_INQ register at offset 0x400 (see IIDC V1.31 for details).
The ProfileID is equivalent to the memory channel number and specifies the
profile number to store settings to or to restore settings from. In any case profile
#0 is the hard-coded factory profile and cannot be overwritten.
After an initialization command, startup or reset of the camera, the ProfileID
also indicates which profile was loaded on startup, reset or initialization.
Store To store the current camera settings into a profile:
1. Write the desired ProfileID with the SaveProfile flag set.
2. Read back the register and check the ErrorCode field.

Note
• The default profile is the profile that is loaded on power-
up or an INITIALIZE command.
• A save or load operation delays the response of the cam-
era until the operation is completed. At a time only one
operation can be performed.
