Camera Diagnostics
Use the following parameters to monitor the error status of the camera and troubleshoot problems:
Time from Initialize
—This reports the time, in seconds, since the camera was initialized during a hard power-up. This is
different from powering up the camera, which will not reset this time.
Link Up Time
—This reports the time, in seconds, since the last Ethernet reconnection occurred. This will be equal to the
Time from Initialize if no reconnection has occurred since the last time the camera was initialized.
Transmit Failure
—This contains a count of the number of failed frame transmissions that have occurred since the last
reset. An error occurs if the camera cannot arbitrate for the bus to transmit image data and the image data FIFO
overflows.
Camera Log
—This provides access to the camera’s 256 byte internal message log, which is often useful for debugging
camera problems. Contact
technical support
for interpretation of message logs.
