STC-C42A/C43A Command Save to Initial Data Read / Write Function EEPROM Data Range Control selection (Rear panel / communication) 98bit: D[7…0]) Read / Write The value of DAC reference voltage (8bit: D[7…0]) Read / Write 0DH address Fixed gain value for the rear panel (8bit: D[7…0])
STC-C42A/C43A 2. Descriptions of the Camera Control Commands (The underline settings are factory default settings) Command No. Command Descriptions 0DH: [Back up data of the factory adjusted value for DAC reference voltage] DAV_BK[7…0] This data is the factory adjusted DAC reference voltage that is set to the address 61H.
