3.4 Resetting the ADC boards ("soft" reset)

When this command is issued, the microprocessor on the ADC board will jump to the beginning of
code and start execution as if the micro was just powered up. This causes the dark reference
control loop to restart at its initial values before settling in to the calibrated dark reference level of
approximately 50 counts. This is useful because under some conditions, issuing a soft reset to the
ADC board's microprocessor after camera operating conditions have changed will improve the rate
at which the offset control loop pulls into the calibrated level. The reset will effect both channels
on a single board.
This is one of only two "write" commands that are not followed by a data byte.
Example
Use this command to reset ADC Board 2 (Channels C & D):
Binary
Hex

3.5 Adjusting User Gain

Video gain is adjustable from 1x to10x by writing a 16 bit value as an MS and LS byte (only the
14 most significant bits of this value are actually used). The gain for a single channel on an ADC
