3.18 Monitoring the Camera
The camera is equipped with a red/ green LED used to display the operational status of
the camera. The following table summarizes the operating states of the camera and the
corresponding LED states:
Lengthy operation in progress. While
camera is blinking green, do not power
down camera or memory may be corrupted.
Note: When more than one condition is active, the LED indicates the condition with the
highest priority. Error and warning states are accompanied by corresponding messages
further describing the current camera status.
Monitoring Tasks
The camera enters a warning state when any of camera's continuously running
monitoring tasks detects a failure. Use the wed i i command, where the first parameter
is the monitoring task and the second parameter is the enable or disable value, to display
the status of all the defined monitory tasks (if no parameter is passed) and/ or to
enable/ disable specific monitoring tasks.
Note: If you are performing defect detection down to a single pixel, enabling monitoring
tasks is not advisable because monitoring can occur during active video and could
potentially provide erroneous data.
The following table lists the monitoring tasks:
Enable/ disable all monitoring tasks
Monitors all camera voltages
Monitors camera temperature
Monitors presence of external SYNC
Monitors presence of external PRIN
Gain Out Of Spec
