GBS Elektronik MCA-527 Firmware Commands - Manual (Page 38)

MCA527
Command name CMD_QUERY_STATE527 (3 rd Continuation)
Remarks FEATURES_ADJUSTABLE_BASELINE_RESTORER: This flag indicates that the MCA527
supports the change between different settings for the baseline restorer. If not set, only the default
setting is available and the command CMD_SET_BASELINE_RESTORING will return “not handled”.
FEATURES_ADJUSTABLE_COARSE_GAIN: This flag indicates that the MCA527 supports the
change between different coarse gain levels. If not set, only the default coarse gain level is available
and the command CMD_SET_GAIN will ignore the parameter “coarse gain”.
FEATURES_USB_CHARGING_DEFAULT_OFF: This flag indicates that the USB charger will not
be automatically switched on when the USB cable is plugged in. If the flag is not set, the USB
charger will be switched on by default. This flag is only relevant if a power module is existent and the
firmware version is higher than 12.01.
FEATURES_NO_OFFSET_DAC: This flag indicates that the MCA527 contains no offset DAC. This
applies to the micro version. In this case, the MCS TTL input mode and the general mode 3 work
only properly if the input signal is adjusted by default for these modes.
FEATURES_SDRAM_OK: The MCA527 runs a SDRAM memory test at booting
39 . If this flag is not
set, the device is defective.
FEATURES_TIMESTAMP_RECORDER: This flag indicates that the MCA527 supports the time
stamp recorders (general modes 3 and 4).
FEATURES_BLUETOOTH: This flag indicates that the MCA527 has detected a bluetooth module at
the extension port.
FEATURES_GATING_BY_TIME: This flag indicates that the MCA527 supports the gating mode
'sort by time'.
FEATURES_BOOT_PRESETS
40 41 : This flag indicates that the MCA527 is preset at booting with
predefined parameters stored within the MCA527 by the manufacturer or a technician.
FEATURES_DETECTOR_INFO

information. However, only the flag FEATURES_DETECTOR_INFO_VALID indicates the validity.
FEATURES_DETECTOR_INFO_VALID
40 41 : This flag indicates that the detector information are
valid. Some parameters of the detector information are used for presetting the MCA527 at booting.
FEATURES_DEBUG_INFO: This flag indicates that the MCA527 supplies additional debug informa-
tion. The debug information is destined for exclusive use by the MCA527 firmware developer. For
this reason it is not described more detailed.
39 Since firmware version 13.05.
40 Since firmware version 14.03.
41 The flags FEATURES_BOOT_PRESETS and FEATURES_DETECTOR_INFO_VALID indicate two competing methods for
presetting the MCA527 at booting. If both flags are set, the firmware uses the parameters of both sources according to certain
rules.
