11.4 Advanced features
The camera has a variety of extended features going beyond the possibilities described in IIDC v.
1.3. The following chapter summarizes all available advanced features in ascending register order.
Advanced features should always be activated before accessing them.
The color and B/W models of the camera vary in their availability in some of the advanced
features.
 Currently all registers can be written without being activated. This makes it easier to
operate the camera using “Directcontrol”.
 AVT reserves the right to require activation in future versions of the software.
11.4.1 Version information inquiry
The presence of each of the following features can be queried by the “0” bit of the corresponding
register.
Offset Name Field Bit Description
0xF1000010 VERSION_INFO1 µC type ID [0..15] Always 0
µC version [16..31] Bcd-coded vers.#
0xF1000014 [0..31] reserved
0xF1000018 VERSION_INFO3 FPGA type ID [0..15] See below
[16..31] Bcd-coded vers.#
0xF100001C [0..31] reserved
Table 60: Version information register
This register holds information about the node_hw_version, the node_sw_version and the
node_spec_ID (camera type). µC version and FPGA version are bcd-coded, which means that e.g.
firmware version 0.85 is read as 0x0085. The FPGA type ID identifies the camera type with the
help of the following list:
ID Camera
