3.19 Resetting the Camera

A400k cameras let the user initiate a camera reset. A reset is the equivalent of switching off power
to the camera and switching power back on.
You can initiate a camera reset by using the Camera Configuration Tool Plus (CCT+) or by using
binary write commands from within your own application to set the camera's control and status
registers (CSRs).
With the CCT+
With the CCT+ (see Section 4.1), click on "Camera" in the menu at the top of the CCT+ window
and a drop down list will appear. Click on "Reset Camera" in the drop down list to initiate a reset.
By Setting CSRs
You can initiate a reset by writing a value to the Reset field of the Camera Reset CSR (see page
4-34).
See Section 4.2.2
write commands.
Whenever the camera is powered on or when a camera reset is performed, your PC
may receive some random characters on the serial interface. We recommend clear-
ing the serial input buffers in your PC after a camera power on or reset.
