Camera status
This register allows to determine the current status of the camera. The most
important flag is the Idle flag.
If the Idle flag is set the camera does not capture and does not send any images
(but images might be present in the image FIFO).
The ExSyncArmed flag indicates that the camera is set up for external trigger-
ing. Even if the camera is waiting for an external trigger event the Idle flag
might get set.
Other bits in this register might be set or toggled: just ignore these bits.
Note

• Excessive polling of this register may slow down the
operation of the camera. Therefore the time between two
polls of the status register should not be less than 5 mil-
liseconds. If the time between two read accesses is lower
than 5 milliseconds the response will be delayed.
• Depending on shutter and isochronous settings the sta-
tus flags might be set for a very short time and thus will
not be recognized by your application.
