Loading an LUT into the camera

Loading the LUT is carried out through the data exchange buffer called
GPDATA_BUFFER. As this buffer can hold a maximum of 2 kB, and a complete
LUT at 1024 x 8 bit is 1 kB, programming can take place in a one block write
step. The flow diagram below shows the sequence required to load data into
the camera.

Note

The input value is the 10-bit value from the digitizer.
The gamma LUT of the CCD models outputs the most
significant 8 bit as shown above.

As gamma correction for the CCD models is also imple-
mented via the look-up table, it is not possible to use a
different LUT when gamma correction is enabled.

With all CCD models, the user LUT will be overridden
when gamma is enabled.

Guppy F-036 (CMOS model) has the gamma function
built in the sensor, so that it will not be overridden.

Guppy F-503 (CMOS model) behaves like Guppy CCD
cameras.

LUT content is volatile.
