3.6 Reading the Firmware Revision
This command returns a byte in which the lower nibble is the revision number for the
clock board firmware and the upper nibble is undefined. The ability to read this value
may assist in customer support issues.
Example: Read the firmware version
Binary
Hex
3.7 Resetting the ADC boards ("soft" reset)
When this command is issued, the microprocessor on the ADC board will restart
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.
This is one of only two "write" commands that are not followed by a data byte.
Example
Use this command to reset ADC Channel 3:

3.8 Resetting the Camera ("hard" reset)
This is the only other "write" command that is not followed by a data byte. This
command resets all clock board registers to their default values (the values used at
power-up).
Example
Use this command to reset the camera:
