Data Clocking/Output Signals
To validate cable integrity, have the camera send out a test pattern and verify it is being
properly received.
6.2 Troubleshooting Using the Serial Interface
The following commands can aid in debugging. (The complete command protocol is
described in Appendix B.)
Communications
To quickly verify serial communications send the help command. The
h
command
returns the online help menu.
Verify Parameters
To verify the camera setup, send the
gcp
command.
Verify Factory Calibrated Settings
To restore the camera’s factory settings, send the
rfs
command.
After executing this command send the
gcp
command to verify the factory settings.
Verify Timing and Digital Video Path
Use the test pattern feature to verify the proper timing and connections between the
camera and the frame grabber and verify the proper output along the digital processing
chain. See below.
Generating Test Patterns
The camera can generate a test pattern to aid in system debugging. Use the command
svm i
to activate the test pattern (see section 3.14 Setting the Video Mode and
Generating Test Patterns for details). The test pattern is a ramp from 1 to the number of
pixels in the line, then starts at 1 again. Use the test pattern to verify the proper timing
and connections between the camera and the frame grabber.
•
No test pattern or bad test pattern — May indicate a problem with the camera (e.g.
missing bit) or a system setup problem (e.g. frame grabber or timing). Verify the
presence of the LVAL and STROBE signals.
•
Test pattern successful — Run the
svm 0
command to deactivate video correction.
Verify Temperature
To check the camera’s internal temperature, use the
vt
command. If it is within the
proper range, the camera returns OK>. Otherwise the camera returns an error message.
