Metadata overlay and test image generator (U)

The Bonito can overlay the image’s first pixels with some bytes of metadata,
such as a hardware frame counter. The frame counter increments for each image
read out from the sensor. This helps to increase system reliability by detecting
missing frames on the host system. In dual channel mode (

S=1 or S=3) it can

also be used to join the two related image halves because they have the same
counter value.

Furthermore, to test the Camera Link cabling and frame grabber operability, a
test image generator is available. It forces the camera to output an almost fixed
test image containing grey wedges, black and white stripes with various fre-
quencies and edge markers.
