Camera Status Inquiry
The camera has been programmed to detect several error conditions. When an error condition is
detected, a flag is set. The camera status inquiry register allows you to read the error flags.
Register Base Address: 0x0C00
Field Name: Register Status Offset: 0x0000 Size: 1 Byte Type: Read only
Description: The integer value in this field indicates the status of this inquiry register:
0x00 = The register is not available
0x01 = The register is available
Field Name: Camera Status Offset : 0x0001 Size: 4 Bytes Type : Read only
Description: Each bit in this field specifies an error condition (see table below). Bit 0 is the least significant bit.
If a bit is set to 1, the error condition assigned to that bit is present. If the bit is set to 0, the error is
not present.
Bit Description
0 Reserved
1 The camera is busy performing an internal operation (such as generating shading
values).
2 A reset has occurred.
3 Parameter error. For example, a parameter has been set to a value that is out of range
or not allowed.
4 A user set load has failed.
5 A file operation has failed.
6 A camera power overvoltage condition is present (see Section 6.9.2 on page 147 ).
7 A binary read/write command protocol error has been detected. For more information
about the error, read the Binary Command Protocol Status Inquiry Register (see
page 163 ). This bit is auto-cleared on read.
8 ... 15 Reserved
16 An FPGA not ready error has occurred. For more information about the error, read the
FPGA Status Inquiry register (see
page 162 ). This bit clears when you read the FPGA
Status Inquiry register.
17 A trigger error has occurred. Either the maximum allowed line rate has been exceeded
or the ExSync signal is missing. For more information about the error, read the FPGA
Status Inquiry register (see
page 162 ). This bit clears when you read the FPGA Status
inquiry register.
18 Reserved
19 The last shading value generation process failed.
The DSNU shading value generation process can fail if the pixel values in the lines
captured during the generation process are too high. (This process should be
performed in darkness or in very low light conditions.)
The PRNU shading value generation process can fail if the values for the darkest
pixels in the captured lines are less than 1/2 of the values for the highest pixels, This
problem is often caused by extremely non-uniform lighting or by poor quality optics.
This bit will clear when you perform a successful shading value generation process.
20 An overtemperature condition is present (see Section 6.9.1 on page 146 ).
21 ... 31 Reserved
