6.10 Camera Status Checks
During operation, the camera performs a continuous series of self checks. You can view the current
camera status in several ways:
„
by using the Camera Configuration Tool Plus (see Section 7.1 on page 156 ). Check the
Camera Status parameter in the Camera Information parameters group to see if any error
codes are present.
„
by using binary read/write commands from within your own application to read the value in the
Camera Status field of the Camera Status inquiry register (see
page 161 ).
Section 7.2.1 on page 158 explains inquiry registers and Section 7.3.1 on page 197 explains
using read/write commands.
„
by checking the LED on the back of the camera. If certain error conditions are present, the
LED will flash (see Section 8.2 on
page 206 ).
6.11 Camera Reset
You can initiate a camera reset with the Camera Configuration Tool Plus (CCT+) or by using binary
write commands from within your own application to set the camera’s control and status registers
(CSRs). A reset is the equivalent of switching off power to the camera and switching power back on.
With the CCT+
With the CCT+ (see Section 7.1 on page 156 ), click on “Camera” in the menu at the top of the CCT+
window and a drop down list will appear. Click on “Reset Camera” in the drop down list to initiate a
reset.
By Setting CSRs
You can initiate a reset by writing the appropriate value to the Reset field of the Camera Reset CSR
(see
page 186 ).
See Section 7.2.2 on page 164 for an explanation of CSRs and Section 7.3.1 on page 197 for an
explanation of using read/write commands.
Note
Whenever the camera is powered on or when a camera reset is performed,
your PC may receive one random character on the serial interface. We
recommend clearing the serial input buffers in your PC after a camera power
on or reset.
