14.1 Get camera diagnostics

When clicking on the Camera | Diagnostics menu entry a dialog will open that

allows for receiving camera diagnostics information.

The content of the Diagnostics window is low level register information. Usually

it is needed only for remote analysis purposes of problem situations.

The following items provide some hints how to solve problem situations where a

connection between a PC and a camera can not be established successfully.
