Introduction</h2>
<p>
This is a driver for Firewire (IEEE 1394) cameras that follow the <a href="http://damien.douxchamps.net/ieee1394/libdc1394/iidc/IIDC_1.31.pdf">
IIDC/DCAM</a> specification. This industry standard allows a single driver to
control cameras from any manufacturer, using any of the supported video formats
and features.</p>
<p>
This driver runs only on Windows. It uses the <a href="http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~iwan/1394/">
Carnegie Mellon 1394</a> camera driver and library. There is also an areaDetector
Firewire driver for Linux available from the <a href="http://controls.diamond.ac.uk/downloads/support/firewireDCAM/index.html">
Diamond Light Source</a>.
</p>
<p>
This driver inherits from <a href="areaDetectorDoc.html#ADDriver">ADDriver</a>.
It implements many of the parameters in <a href="areaDetectorDoxygenHTML/asyn_n_d_array_driver_8h.html">
asynNDArrayDriver.h</a> and in <a href="areaDetectorDoxygenHTML/_a_d_driver_8h.html">
ADArrayDriver.h</a>. It also implements a number of parameters that are specific
to the Firewire cameras. The <a href="areaDetectorDoxygenHTML/class_firewire_win_d_c_a_m.html">
firewireWinDCAM class documentation</a> describes this class in detail.</p>
<p>
The IIDC/DCAM specification defines standard ways that manufacturers must implement
features like shutter time, white balance, frame sizes, frame rates, etc. There
is a standard way to determine whether or not a particular camera supports a particular
feature. If it does then there is a standard way of querying the allowed range of
values for that feature. This makes it quite easy to write a driver that can support
cameras with any capabilities from any manufacturer.</p>
<h2 id="VideoFormats" style="text-align: left">
Video formats, modes, and frame rates</h2>
<p>
The DCAM specification defines standard video frame sizes, color modes and frames
rates. The following tables lists these standard formats and mode. Video format
7 is special. It allows defining an ROI on the camera to read out. The pixel resolution
with which the size and position of this ROI can be defined can be queried, and
is not necessarily a single pixel. In Format 7 the frame rate settings do not apply,
and the frame rate is determined by the size of the Fireware data packets.</p>

The following tables lists the standard frame rates for formats 0, 1 and 2. Note
that not all frame rates are supported by the IIDC standard for every format and
mode, and even when a frame rate is supported by the standard it may not be implemented
for a particular camera. In Format 7 the frame rate settings do not apply, and the
frame rate is determined by the size of the Fireware data packets. The areaDetector
driver currently sets the Format 7 packet size to the vendor recommended size, which
typically results in the maximum possible frame rate.</p>

The DCAM specification defines 22 standard features, which control things such as
the brightness, white balance, shutter time, etc.. For each feature the standard
defines control in both device units (12-bit integers) and absolute units (floating
point). For example shutter time may support absolute seconds, as well as device
units. A feature may or may not be supported on a particular camera. If it is supported
it may or may not permit control in absolute units. Each feature may support both
manual control and automatic control (e.g. automatic gain control). The following
tables lists these standard features.</p>

the parameter index variable names have been split into 2 lines, but these are just
