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

. If this flag is not

set, the device is defective.
