7.3 Status LEDs

On LED

The green power LED indicates that the camera is being supplied with sufficient voltage and is

ready for operation.

Status LED (yellow)

The following states are displayed via the LED:

Com asynchronous and isochronous data transmission active

(indicated asynchronously to transmission over the 1394 bus)

Trg LED off – waiting for external trigger

LED on – receiving external trigger

Blink codes are used to signal warnings or error states:

Class S1

Error code S2

Warning

1 blink

DCAM

2 blinks

MISC

3 blinks

FPGA

4 blinks

Stack

5 blinks

FPGA Boot error 1-5

blinks

Stack setup 1 blink

Stack start 2 blinks

No FLASH object 1 blink

No DCAM object 1 blink

VMode_ERROR_STATUS 1 blink

FORMAT_7_ERROR_1 2 blinks

FORMAT_7_ERROR_2 3 blinks

Table 14: Error Codes

The longer OFF-time of 3.5 sec signals the beginning of a new class period. The error codes follow

after a shorter OFF-time of 1.5 sec.

Example: 3.5 sec  one blink  1.5 sec  2 blinks

indicates a warning: Format_7_Error_1
