Verify Voltage

To check the camera's input voltages and internal voltages, use the
are within the proper range, the camera returns OK>. Otherwise the camera returns an
error message.
Verify Temperature
To check the internal temperature of the camera, use the
operation, this value should not exceed 75°C.

Verify Pixel Coefficients

To activate video correction, send the command
display the pixel coefficients in the order FPN, PRNU, FPN, PRNU... The camera also
returns the pixel number with each coefficient.
End-of-line Sequence
To further aid debugging, the camera can generate an end-of-line sequence. The end-of-
line-sequence outputs "aa", "55", "line counter", "line average", "pixels above threshold",
"pixels below threshold". To activate the end-of-line sequence, use the command
To disable the end-of-line sequence, use the command

modes, or 0 to 1023 for 10-bit data modes.

LED Status

Located on the back of the camera is a red/green LED used to display the operational
status of the camera. Red lights indicate errors or warnings and green lights indicate
progress and OKs. Error and warning states are accompanied by corresponding messages
further describing current camera status.
Monitoring Tasks
The camera enters a warning state when any of the camera's continuously running
monitoring tasks detects a failure. Use the
defined monitory tasks (if no parameter is passed) and/or to enable/disable specific
monitoring tasks.
