Series cameras.

Error Log File

Refer to the Error Log File section for information on retreiving the error log file.
Power Failure During a Firmware Update–Now What?
Don't panic! There is far greater chance that the host computer OS is damaged during a power
failure than any permanent problems with the Calibir. When electrical power returns and the host
computer system has started, follow this procedure.
Connect power to the Calibir. The Calibir processor knows that the firmware update failed.
The Calibir will boot with the previous version of firmware and will operate normally.
Perform the firmware update procedure (see File Access Control Category) again.

Power supply problems:

If the Calibir status LED is off, the power supply is not connected or faulty. Verify the power
supply voltage.

Camera is functional, but image has no contents

Aim the Calibir at an object with a temperature considerably higher/lower from that of the
ambient environment.
Using CamExert, set the PixelFormat to 8-bits. The camera should then generate well-
contrasted images.
Using CamExpert set the Calibir to output its Internal Pattern Generator. This step is typically done
for any camera installation to quickly verify the Calibir and its software package. See the Internal
Test Pattern Generator section for information on using CamExpert to select internal patterns from
Calibir.
