Serial Interface: How to Control the Camera 53
3.9.2 Selecting Factory or User Coefficients
Serial Command: csn
Purpose: Selects the coefficient set to use. The camera ships with a
factory calibrated set of FPN and PRNU coefficients. The
factory coefficients cannot be erased or modified.
Syntax:
• csn i
Syntax
Elements:
• i
Coefficient set to use.
0 = Factory calibrated set of FPN and PRNU coefficients.
These coefficients cannot be erased or modified.
1 = User calibrated set of FPN and PRNU coefficients.
These coefficients can be deleted or modified.
Notes: The camera ships with the factory calibrated FPN and PRNU
coefficients saved to both set 0 and set 1. When you first boot
up the camera, the camera operates using set 1 (csn 1)
enabled.
To retrieve the current coefficient set number, use get csn.
Example:
• csn 0
3.9.3 Enabling Pixel Coefficients
Serial Command: epc
Purpose: The camera ships with the FPN and PRNU coefficients
enabled, but you can enable and disable FPN and PRNU
coefficients whenever necessary.
Syntax:
• epc i1 i2
Syntax
Elements:
• i1
FPN coefficients.
0 = FPN coefficients disabled
1 = FPN coefficients enabled
