Troubleshooting
6.1 Common Issues
The information in this chapter can help you solve problems that may occur during the
setup of your camera. Remember that the camera is part of the entire acquisition system.
You may have to troubleshoot any or all of the following:
power supplies
cabling
software
host computer
light sources
optics
operating environment
encoder
LED
When the camera is first powered up, the LED will glow on the back of the camera.
Refer to section 2.3 for information on the LED.
Connections
The first step in troubleshooting is to verify that your camera has all the correct
connections.
Cable Length/Type
Ensure that cable lengths are no longer than 10m. Use the
scb
command to select the
correct cable parameter for the cable length.
Equipment Requirements
Ensure that you are using compatible equipment.
Power Supply Voltages
Check for the presence of all voltages at the camera power connector. Verify that all
grounds are connected.
EXSYNC
When the camera is received from the factory, it defaults (no external input required) to
exposure mode 7 (5000 Hz line rate, internal Sync to trigger readout). After a user has
saved settings, the camera powers up with the saved settings.
If you change to an exposure mode that requires an external sync, ensure that you are
providing an external sync
Communications and Verify Parameters
TBD.
Verify Voltage
To check the camera’s input voltage, use the
vv
command. The supplied voltage must
be within specification. Erratic behavior may occur at low voltages. Voltages will be
reduced through the use of lengthy power supple cables.
Verify Temperature
To check the internal temperature of the camera, use the
vt
command.
