Register-Level Programming
This appendix explains how to access and program register locations using 
the NI-IMAQ for IEEE 1394 Cameras software, and discusses the caveats 
involved in programming registers.
Introduction
All IEEE 1394 cameras communicate to the host computer through register 
maps. The register map reflects the system memory located on the 
IEEE 1394 camera. The register map allows the host computer to read and 
write information with minimal overhead.
The host computer sends asynchronous messages over the IEEE 1394 bus 
to the connected camera. When the data is written into memory on the 
IEEE 1394 camera, the camera processes the incoming request. If possible, 
the camera responds immediately. Otherwise, a pending transaction 
message is returned. When the pending request is completed, the 
IEEE 1394 camera returns the results of the request.
