Description

Reports software and hardware version numbers.

typedef struct {
  u8 swMajor;
  u8 swMinor;
  u8 hwVersion;
  u8 degreesF;
  u24 hwID;
  u32 appBits;
  u8 boardType;

} SLAVersionNumber_t;

The Version Number packet is automatically sent after the first three frames of acquisition on Serial Port 0.
Sent in response to SLAGetVersionNumber_t() or SLAGetParameters_t().
TIP: Use the Version Number(0x40) packet as a mechanism to know the system is ready to receive commands.

Application Bits

Bits specified in the license file control which features are enabled on SLA hardware.

NOTE: The following changes to application bits were made between version 4 (2.25 and earlier) and version 7 (3.0 and later) of the SightLine license file:

Split Enhance/High Bit Depth into Enhancement and High Bit Depth
Split NUC/DPR/Blend into Blending and NUC/DPR
Split HD Output into 720 Output, 1080 Output and Dual
Split HD Input into 720 Input, 1080 Input and Dual
Removed Base Tracking, use Track Only

NOTE: 1500 and 3000 systems with Version 4 (2.25 and earlier firmware) license files are translated into current application bits when loaded.

Demo Mode

Demo Mode allows users to try out most featuers on any SightLine system. Use SLASetSystemValue_t to enter demo mode. Restart system to leave demo mode.
The following features are limited in demo mode:

There will be a SightLine Demo Mode overlay on all video output
No telemetry output will be sent
Capture snapshots are not allowed
Saving parameters is not allowed
KLV metadata is not embedded in network video streams
Detect Snap Shot is not allowed
