2 eneral Operation
For regular operation the camera needs only a power supply. For controlling and updating
the camera a RS485 connection is required.
This can be done with the given RS485 USB converter. Connect the USB connector to
your PC and let the operation system install the required drivers.
For RS485 an address is required to access the camera. The default address is “1”.
After powering up the camera the camera will boot. The boot process takes ~ seconds.
2.1 Connectors
The ATOM one 4K has two 6 pin Hirose HR10 connectors.
1. Power: Male HR10 6 pin
2. AUX: Female HR10 6 pin
2.1.1 Power and RS485 Connector
The power connector is male and will mate with a female hirose HR10A-7P-6S(7 ) .
Note: The pin order of HR10A of male and female is counted in different directions.
The following table shows the numbering and cable colors of used Dream Chip adapters.

2.2 Over-Temperature Protection
The ATOM one mini has a very compact design which does not allow for active cooling.
Thus the device will get hot under operation. To protect the device the camera will go into
a safe operational mode when the internal CPU temperature reaches 70°C, this will be
indicated by toggling the status LED between orange and red.
The camera will stay in this state until the CPU temperature drops below 50°C, it will then
reboot automatically and resume operation. Alternatively you can power-cycle the device,
but keep in mind that as long as you did not improve the cooling the camera will probably
reach the temperature limit again after a short time.
To keep track of the current cpu temperature use the temp command. The camera also
logs the maximum CPU temperature which can be read out using the max_temp
command. You can reset the logged maximum temperature using the max_temp_reset
command.
Every time the camera reaches the 80°C temperature limit, an over temperature counter
will be incremented. You can read the counter value by using the over_temp_count
command. This counter value is persistent and can not be reset by the user.

3 Firmware Update
Firmware can only be updated via a serial connection. Make sure, that the power supply of
the camera and the computer for the update are in a stable state.
You can download the latest updated from our GitLab repository:
https://gitlab.com/dreamchip/provideo-downloads
3.1 Firmware Update via UI
You can use the ProVideo GUI (see chapter 4) to update your cameras’ firmware. This is
generally a lot easier, but in some cases (e.g. incompatible GUI and firmware) not
possible.
To perform the update simply connect your camera with the included RS485 USB adapter
to your PC, start the ProVideo GUI, go to the Update Tab, choose the Firmware file and
start the update.
3.2 Firmware Update via Script
The update requires a manual adaption of the update script.
3.2.1 Preparation for Update
Open the folder with the firmware update on your PC.
You need to know your COM port of your USB RS485 interface. This can be done by
checking your “Devices and Printers” in your Windows system.
You also need to know your RS485 ID of your ATOM one camera. The default is 1.
Now you must edit the update_firmware.bat file and edit the to your settings.
The header of the files looks like this:
@echo off
REM SET YOUR COM PORT TO YOUR RS485 USB COM PORT
set COM_PORT=COM156
REM SET THE RS485_ID to your ATOM on C mer ID. Def ult is 1
set RS485_ID=1
Save your changes.
3.2.2 Update of Firmware
Make sure your update_firmware.bat reflects the correct COM port and RS485_ID as
shown in the previous chapter.
Connect the RS485 USB adapter to your PC and to the ATOM one camera.
Power up the camera and wait until its fully started. This takes ~ seconds until the LED
on the backside is blinking blue.
Now start the update_firmware.bat file.

10 of 73 Reference Manual ATOM one 4K mini
After 2 seconds the camera will go into update mode. When this happens the camera will
no longer send an image and the LED on the backside starts blinking red.
After 5 more seconds the firmware update starts.
This process takes about ~10 minutes.
After the firmware update is done, power cycle the camera.

5 Terminal Usage
5.1 Terminal
ATOM one 4K mini can be controlled by a simple terminal connection. All commands
consist of ASCI characters.
5.2 Terminal Settings
For flexible configuration ATOM one 4K mini provides 2 terminal interfaces:
1. RS485 on the Power connector cable
2. RS2 2 TTL which is connected on the AUX connector.
The default interface setting is:
•115200 baud (adjustable)
•8 bit data
•no parity
•1 stop bit
•no flow control
The ATOM one 4k mini accepts commands in text form and answers with text messages.
Every command is confirmed by "OK" or "FAIL". Errors have to be handled by the user or
host software which is used to control the device.
Depending on the prompt setting you get a prompt "=>" after start up. Now you can send
commands to control the device or get status information.
Check the next chapters to get detailed information about available commands and
options.
5.3 eneral Command Format
When the firmware is ready to accept commands, it sends its prompt ("=> ") if enabled with
the prompt command. Every command line is accepted as a single text line, terminated by
either CR or LF.
The command consists of a command string, followed by none or more parameters,
separated by a single space.
The parameters can have different formats, depending of the command. Supported
formats are:
•Signed decimal : - 2 , 422
•Hexadecimal: 0x 5ff 4aa
•String : any_string
The command will be executed and may produce some text output on one or more lines .
Finally the status will be sent as a single line containing either "OK" or "FAIL". In case of

13 of 73 Reference Manual ATOM one 4K mini
failure an error code may be added in the same line, e.g. "FAIL ".
The lines sent by the firmware are terminated with both CR and LF.
Most commands do have parameters. The parameters are depending of the given
command.
IMPORTANT: Any command is subject of change. We will try not to change existing
commands, but any command may change in the future. Details will be announced in
release notes of upcoming software versions.
5.4 RS485 Addressing
On a RS485 Bus multiple ATOM one systems can be used with one RS485 Master
controller.
To communicate with a slave, the following command format is defined for RS485:
<address> <command> <parameter>
Where address is the RS485 address of the given ATOM one device. Example command
with address 1:
1 video_mode 5
The RS485 address can be set with the rs485_addr command, valid addresses range
from 0 to 99. The Address 100 is reserved as a fail-safe address. All devices will always
reply to commands send on address 100, as if it was their device address. This can be
used to recover or change the device address if it is lost and no other communication is
possible with the device.
If you want to find out which devices are currently attached to the RS485 bus, you can
send the identify command over the fail-safe address 100, which will have all devices
report back. See the identify command description for more details.
5.5 RS485 Broadcasting
To send commands to multiple cameras, which are connected to the same RS485 bus at
once, they can be grouped in broadcast groups. Therefore each camera gets a second
address, the broadcast address. The broadcast address is set with the rs485_bc_addr
command, it can not be identical with the normal RS485 address, the default is “0”.
Once all cameras in the group are setup with the correct broadcast address, the same
command format like for normal RS485 communication is used:
<address> <command> <parameter>
Where address now is the broadcast address.
By default the cameras do not reply to broadcast commands with the usual “OK” or “FAIL”
messages, otherwise the RS485 bus would be full with replies from the different devices.
To still be able to implement a handshake with a controller software during broadcast
mode it is possible to select one camera as the broadcast master. This camera will,
representative for all cameras, reply to commands as usual, while all other cameras are
silent.

14 of 73 Reference Manual ATOM one 4K mini
To set the broadcast master, use the command rs485_bc_master. Note that this
command may be send to an individual camera, or over the broadcast channel. Sending it
over the broadcast channel ensures, that only one master is active in the system.
Reminder: All of this is only valid for communication over the broadcast address,
communication over the device address is unaffected and works as usual.
Also see the descriptions of the rs485_bc_addr and rs485_bc_master commands for
more details.
5.6 Inbuild Help
Type help to get a full list of supported commands. It is possible to get a detailed help for
each command by typing "help <cmd>".
Example to get help for the video_mode command:
help video_mode<Enter>
video_mode <video mode> - set video mode
5.7 Command Parser
The command parser supports abbreviated commands. This means that it is only required
to type as many characters until the command is unique.
Example for equivalent commands:
save_settings
save
sa
For interactive operation this is useful to save typing time.
Note: It is not recommended to use the short commands in any control or application
software. The reason is, that future extensions may make a current unique short command
ambiguous.

6 Settings Handling
6.1 Set Functions
To change any settings run the matching command with its required parameters.
Example:
video_mode 5
OK
6.2 et Functions
Any setting can be checked by running the function without parameters or followed by a
question mark. The output of the get function represents a valid command followed by
parameters. This string can be parsed by external applications to extract the current
settings out of the system.
Example:
video_mode
video_mode 5 (returned)
video_mode ?
video_mode 5 (returned)
6.3 auto_save <flag>
Controls auto save.
Flag Function
0 Auto save OFF
1 (reset) Auto save ON
With this flag any settings change will instantly saved into the current settings bank for
startup.
By turning this off, tests on the camera settings will not change / destroy internal saved
settings.
In case auto save is OFF the save_settings command must be used to store the current
setup.
Example:
auto_save 0
6.4 save_settings
ATOM one 4K has a build in storage for settings. It is automatically loaded on start up.

16 of 73 Reference Manual ATOM one 4K mini
The save_settings command saves the current settings into the start up configuration.
This function is only required in case auto_save is OFF.
Example:
save_settings
6.5 load_settings
At any time, the saved start up configuration can be loaded with load_settings.
This function is useful to try new settings. To discard the tried settings, simply run
load_settings to restore the known good configuration.
6.6 reset_settings
To reset the system into factory default run reset_settings.
You must run save_settings to make the factory default the start up configuration.
Please note that all RS485 and RS2 2 settings, including the baudrate and device
address, and the device name are not reset by calling reset_settings. This is done so that
the communication to the device is not interrupted.
6.7 dump_settings
This command dumps all settings which are stored on the device in alphabetical order.
This can for an example be used by a hardware controller to quickly get all settings from
the device.
Please note that some commands like dpc_auto_load or lut_interpolate have no settings
that can be dumped and this do not show up when you call dump_settings.

Sets the address for the RS485 interface. It can not be set to the current value of the
broadcast address, an attempt to do so will return “FAIL”.
Value Default Minimal Maximal
Device Address 0 0 99
Note: Make sure, that each address is unique on your RS485 bus system.
If you have an address conflict, it can be checked and changed any time via RS2 2
console, or by removing devices from the bus until the contention is solved.
The address 100 is reserved as a fail-safe address. All devices will always replay to
commands send over this address, as if it was their current device address. This can be
used to identify or change the device address if it has been lost.
7.4 rs485_bc_addr <address>
Sets the broadcast address for the RS485 interface. It can not be set to the current value

18 of 73 Reference Manual ATOM one 4K mini
of the device address, an attempt to do so will return “FAIL”.
Value Default Minimal Maximal
Broadcast Address 0 0 99
To change the broadcast address of an already existing broadcast group, simply send a
rs_485_bc_addr command over the broadcast channel.
7.5 rs485_bc_master <address>
This command enables the broadcast master mode on the camera with the given device
address. If the command is transmitted as a get command (without an argument) it will not
reply with the broadcast master address, but with a flag (0 or 1) that indicates whether this
camera currently is the broadcast master or not.
Transmitting a negative address will always disable the broadcast master mode.
Value Default Minimal Maximal
Device Address of the Broadcast Master Broadcast Master Disabled 0 99
The functionality is explained in the following example:
Two cameras are connected to the same RS485 bus. Camera 1 has the device address 1
and broadcast address 0, camera two has device address 2 and broadcast address 0. To
enable broadcast master mode on camera 1 and disable it on camera 2 send the following
command using the broadcast channel:
0 rs485_bc_master 1
Where 0 is the broadcast address of both cameras and 1 is the device address of the new
broadcast master. You will not receive an “OK” message for this command, but all
following commands that are send over the broadcast channel will be answered by camera
1.
Note: If the commands are not transmitted over the broadcast channel, it might happen
that multiple broadcast masters exist in the system.
To disable broadcast master mode on all cameras in the broadcast group send:
0 rs485_bc_master -1
7.6 rs485_term <flag>
Enables or disables the internal termination of the RS485 interface.
Flag Function
0 Disable Termination
1 (default) Enable Termination

7.7 prompt <flag>
Set prompt mode.
Flag Function
0 (reset) No prompt
1 '=>' prompt
7.8 reboot
Does a system reboot (warm start).
A full reboot takes depending of configuration and camera about 0 seconds.
7.9 fw_update
Set the system into USB firmware update mode. This mode is usually controlled by the
Windows update software.
7.10 version
Dumps a detailed version information about the system with system ID and firmware
version.
The output looks like this:

7.11 identify
Dumps essential system information including the platform, RS485 configuration and the
device name. This command can be used to identify all devices which are connected to
one RS485 bus by sending it to device address 100 (the fail-safe device address).
Each device will wait until it is its turn before sending its ID string. The higher the RS485
address of the device, the longer the device will wait before posting its stats, this ensures

20 of 73 Reference Manual ATOM one 4K mini
that the bus does not get corrupted.
Each device will report the following parameters:
•Platform ID: This will be condor4k_mini_07, condor4k_mini_11 or
condor4k_mini_16 for ATOM one 4K mini cameras, depending on the sensor size
(this is identical to the platform which is reported by the version command)
•RS485 ID, RS485 Broadcast Address and RS485 Broadcast Master as described in
chapters 5.4 and 5.5
•Device Name: Name which can be set by the user, see chapter 7.12 for more
details (this is identical to the name which is reported by the version command)
Example output with two devices attached to one bus:
1 identify
id: condor4k_mini_11 1 ATOM one 4K - Left
OK
id: condor4k_mini_16 55 ATOM one 4K - Front
OK
7.12 name <name string>
The device name, which is shown in the output of the version command and in the GUI
can be changed using a hidden command, which is not shown in the output of the help
command. The name can consist of a maximum of 5 words which, in total, have a length
of 2 characters, including spaces.
If the name shall be changed persistently, make sure to execute the save command after
changing the name. The name will not be reset by the reset command, but it might be
reset after a firmware update.
