a reboot is completed and SceneScan is providing measurement data again.

Please use this function as an alternative to a power cycle, if the device cannot

be easily accessed.

The maintenance page further allows you to perform rmware updates. Use

this functionality only for rmware les that have ocially been released by

Nerian Vision Technologies. To perform a rmware update, select the desired

rmware le and press the update button. The update process will take several

seconds. Do not unplug the device, reload the maintenance page

or re-click the update button while performing rmware updates.

Otherwise, this might lead to a corrupted rmware state. Once the update

has been completed, please restart the device by briey unplugging the power

supply.
