Verify Temperature and Voltage
To determine the voltage and temperature at the camera, use the
Read Voltage and
Temperature
feature found in the
Camera
Information
set.
The temperature returned is the internal chip case temperature in degrees Celsius. For
proper operation, this value should not exceed 80 °C. If the camera exceeds the designated
temperature it will shut down and will not turn on until the camera’s temperature is 73 ºC
or less. Use the
reset camera
function.
The voltage displayed is the camera’s input voltage. Note that the voltage measurement
feature of the camera provides only approximate results (typically within 10%). The
measurement should not be used to set the applied voltage to the camera, but only used as
a test to isolate gross problems with the supply voltage.
Saving and Restoring Camera Settings
The parameters used to select, load and save user sets are grouped together under the
Camera Information set of features.

Description
User Set Selector / Device
Configuration Selector
Selects the camera configuration set to load feature
settings from or save current feature settings to: factory
(default) or user sets.
The Factory / Default set contains default camera feature
settings. User camera configuration sets contain feature
settings previously saved by the user.
User Set Load / Load Configuration
Load the set specified by User Set Selector to the camera
and make it the active / current set.
User Set Save / Save Configuration
Save the current set as selected user set.
Description of the Camera Settings
The camera operates in one of three settings:
1.
Current session
2.
User setting
3.
Factory setting (Default, read-only)
The current settings can be saved (thereby becoming the user setting) using the User Set
Save parameter. A previously saved user setting (User Set 1) or the factory settings can be
restored using the User Set Selector and User Set Load parameters.
The relationship between these three settings is illustrated here and described below:
