Camera Info
After establishing a link to the ST-i use the Information command in the

The Camera Information command shows you the capabilities of your
camera. There are a few key items here that you should be aware of should
you ever need technical support:
Firmware Version/Driver Info – Over time we revise the camera firmware
and drivers to add new capabilities and fix software bugs. The ST-
i actually has its firmware downloaded to it every time it connects
to the PC after a power-up sequence, which makes it very easy for
us to update the ST-i in the field. To make sure you have the latest
firmware periodically run the Driver Checker, which checks our
servers for later drivers and updates your system accordingly.
Serial Number – If you ever need to know this, here it is. It's on the label
on the back of the camera as well.
Readout Mode Table – This shows the various readout modes the ST-i
supports. The High-resolution mode offers the full 648 x 486
