Camera Diagnostics

Use the following parameters to monitor the error status of the camera and troubleshoot problems:
Time from Initialize—This reports the time, in seconds, since the camera was initialized during a hard power-up.
This is different from powering up the camera, which will not reset this time.
Link Up Time—This reports the time, in seconds, since the last Ethernet reconnection occurred. This will be
equal to the Time from Initialize if no reconnection has occurred since the last time the camera was initialized.
Transmit Failure—This contains a count of the number of failed frame transmissions that have occurred since
the last reset.
Camera Log—This provides access to the camera's 256 byte internal message log, which is often useful for
debugging camera problems. Contact
