Configuration of the camera
PIKE Technical Manual V4.0.0
318
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.
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.
To restore the settings from a previous stored profile:
1. Write the desired ProfileID with the RestoreProfile flag set.
2. Read back the register and check the ErrorCode field.
To set the default profile to be loaded on startup, reset or initialization
1. Write the desired ProfileID with the SetDefaultID flag set.
2. Read back the register and check the ErrorCode field.
Error codes
Reset of error codes
The ErrorCode field is set to zero on the next write access.
Note
L
• 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
camera until the operation is completed. At a time only
one operation can be performed.
ErrorCode # Description
0x00 No error
0x01 Profile data corrupted
0x02 Camera not idle during restore operation
0x03 Feature not available (feature not present)
0x04 Profile does not exist
0x05 ProfileID out of range
0x06 Restoring the default profile failed
0x07 Loading LUT data failed
0x08 Storing LUT data failed
