Power Failure during a Firmware Update
–
Now What?
Don
’
t panic! There is far greater chance that the host computer OS is damaged during a power
failure than any permanent problems with the Nano. When electrical power returns and the host
computer system has restarted follow this procedure.
•
Connect power to the Nano-CXP. The Nano processor knows that the firmware update failed.
•
The Nano-CXP will boot with the previous version of firmware and will operate normally.
•
(deviceBISTStatus) will return that the last firmware update failed.
•
Perform the firmware update procedure again.
Cabling and Communication Issues
With only 4 CXP coax cables and possibly an external power supply (if not using PoCXP), possible
cabling issues are limited.
Power supply problems:
•
If using PoCXP power, verify that the frame grabber used has activated its PoCXP source
function. Note that the frame grabber typically requires direct PC power connected to it, as
directed by the grabber’s user man
ual.
•
If using DC supply power via the I/O camera connector, verify the power supply voltage and
I/O cable wiring.
Communication Problems:
•
Use quality DIN 1.0/2.3 coax cables along with quality shielded I/O cables. This can eliminate
issues in a high EMI environment. Purchase CXP cables from certified sources.
•
Use the Log Viewer tool (see point below) for error conditions.
•
Run the Sapera Log Viewer:

. Start the Nano-CXP acquisition program, such as CamExpert. Review the log output
for error messages.
Camera is functional, frame rate is as expected, but image is
black
•
Using CamExpert set the Nano-CXP to output its Internal Pattern Generator (with external
trigger Off). This step is typically done for any camera installation to quickly verify the Nano
and its software package.
•
If using an external trigger exposure (via the frame grabber), verify the trigger source rate and
pulse width coming from the grabber parameters.
•
Verify that the lens iris is open.
•
Aim the Nano-CXP at a bright light source.
•
Check that the programmed exposure duration is not too short or set it to maximum.
