A5 Error Handling

The following table lists warning and error messages and provides a description and
possible cause. Warning messages are returned when the camera cannot meet the full
value of the request; error messages are returned when the camera is unable to complete
the request.

Table 10: Warning and Error Messages

Message

Description

Warning 01:
Outside of
specification>

Parameter accepted was outside of specified operating range (e.g. gain
greater than ±10 dB of factory setting, or SSF below specification).

Warning 02:
Clipped to min>

Parameter was clipped to the current operating range. Use GCP or
GET to see value used.

Warning 03:
Clipped to max>

Parameter was clipped to the current operating range. Use GCP or
GET to see value used.

Warning 04: Related
parameters
adjusted>

Internal operating condition is adjusted to accommodate the entered
command. E.g. requesting exposure time longer than line time
automatically adjusts the line time to meet the exposure time
requirement.

Warning 07:
Coefficient may be
inaccurate A/D
clipping has
occurred>

In the region of interest (ROI) greater than 6.251% single or 1% of
averaged pixel values were zero or saturated.

Warning 08: Greater
than 1% of
coefficients have
been clipped>

Greater than 1% of FPN or PRNU coefficients have been calculated to
be greater than the maximum allowable and so were clipped.

Warning 09:
Internal line rate
inconsistent with
read out time>

Changes to the parameter (e.g. horizontal averaging) have changed read
out time and that is greater than the

internal

SYNC.

Error Message

Description

Error 01: Internal
error xx>

Where xx is a code list below.
Only output during power up.
Customer should contact Dalsa customer support.

Error 02:
Unrecognized
command>

Command is not valid (or not available at the current access level).

Error 03: Incorrect
number of
parameters>

Too many or too few parameters.
