7.2.1 Inquiry Registers
Inquiry registers contain basic information about the camera and information about the camera’s
current status. Each inquiry register contains one or more fields and each field has an assigned
address within the camera’s memory space. By using a binary read command, you can read the
data in a field and get information about the camera.
The address for any field within a register is equal to the register base address plus the offset for
the field. For example, the Vendor Information Inquiry Register (see below) has a Vendor Name field
with an address of 0x0101 (the base address of 0x0100 plus an offset of 0x0001). By reading the
data at address 0x0101, you can get information about the camera vendor’s name.
The section starting below lists the inquiry registers in the camera and shows detailed information
about the use of each field within the registers.
