4.8 Error messages
FIRPACKAGE was developed with focus on industrial vision.
This implies highest robustness and transparent error messaging and handling.
The logging window reports each and every error with date and time.
Info gives you a written description about a selected error message.
In practise (depending on heavy system load) you will probably be confronted with the follow-
ing messages:
1. GRFOVERFLOW: The Receive FIFO which temporarily stores the camera data on
the adapter card reported an overflow error.
At least one data packet is corrupted.
Please check packetpayload not to exceed 4000 bytes per card or about 6000 bytes
for all cards in order to avoid overload on the IEEE1394-bus or the PCI-bus.
Also check whether other PCI devices are suspect to heavy traffic (e.g. Network
card).
Also Important: Try to avoid interrupt sharing.
2. ISO 0-2 halted: The hardware engine, which collects the data packets was forced to
halt, because there was no free memory in the system. Either the Viewer is too slow
or needs too much processing time for the images or there are not enough frame
buffers.
You will find all error messages explained in detail in the FIRESTACK documentation.
This setting defines the num-
ber of frame stores used by
the driver.
Be aware that e.g. one SXGA
color image corresponds to
3.6 MB of main memory. But
nevertheless you can have as
many frame buffers as you
have memory in the system.
