Hot Pixels

normal, but in long integration modes (programmable frame
time) behave as high-intensity bright pixels.
Terminal:
The user can display two submenus: Command Terminal and
Download Terminal.
1. Command Terminal
– shows information about all the
commands sent to or received from the camera. User can type in
Bobcat command directly in the text box provided (refer to
chapter 4 for command structure syntax) – Figure 5.5. The
“Disable Polling” check box will turn on/off the polling
commands (such as Frame Time, Exposure time, Frame Rate and
Sensor Temperature) in the dialog windows. The user can change
the polling time by entering the desired number in the window. If
for some reason the camera returns an error, when command was
sent to the camera, the GUI will respond with a pop-up window
displaying an error message. The user has option to disable the
error checking by enabling the “Disable Error Checking” box.
