Camera Operation
Special care has to be taken:
• The acceleration ramp should be very smooth (e.g.
some systems tend to run "staircase" type accelerations,
others can oscillate causing minor fluctuations).
• The power supply must be able to supply sufficient current.
• The camera power cable must not be extended to
avoid excessive voltage drop.
• The camera must not be "hard stopped" by simply
pulling the connectors on the MCI or the MCI itself.
• An ARRIMAG 120 or a Steadimag should be used on
the camera.
If any of the above are not adhered to the camera might
not perform as expected and/or switch off.
Note: For motion control mode exit warning see page 67.
The shutter and the transport motor will be
positioned in mid shutter closed position➪ photo.
For further information see the documentation of the motion
control adapter (MCA) modules.
