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 par ameter
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:
