Polaris Vicra System LEDs and Audio Codes

The Polaris Vicra System components are equipped with LEDs and audio codes to communicate the
system status.
Position Sensor LEDs
• Power LED :
Flashes green during system warm-up.
Steady green when system is ready for use.
• Status LED
Steady green when the communications connection is available.
• Error LED
Lights steady amber if a critical error is detected (Position Sensor must be returned to NDI).
Flashes amber if a non-critical error is detected (for example, a firmware update is not
completed).
Note
If a non-critical error is detected (error LED is flashing), refer to the NDI ToolBox application to further diagnose
the fault. (The nature of the error is described on the NDI ToolBox initial page.) If you are using your own
applications, use the GET command to read the "Info.StatusAlert" parameter to check the alert status. Refer to
the "Polaris Application Program Interface Guide" for further information.
Position Sensor Audio Codes
Two tones are emitted by the Position Sensor after it has been powered up or reset and has
completed initialization. You can disable this feature using the NDI ToolBox software.
If the host computer does not send a command to the system within a given time, the Position Sensor
will emit two quick tones every three seconds. (This feature is an application watchdog and is set by
the API command HWCDOG.)
Host USB Converter LEDs
• Power :
Lights green when power is being supplied to the Host USB Converter.
• Error
Lights amber when the Host USB Converter has detected a fault.
