Appendix E

Status Indicators

Power

The camera controller has an LED that indicates the status of the power to the unit. This LED also indicates whether the Better Light rechargeable battery is charging (if connected).

Controller Power LED Color	Meaning
Oﬀ	No power is being applied
Solid green	Power is on
Solid red	Battery is charging (AC attached)

Status

During scans the green (internal disk drive) section of the LED next to the power switch on the Control Unit will remain on continuously, while the red (external USB) section will blink very brieﬂy several times per second (may not be noticeable) as the software polls the camera for its position and status. During prescans the LED will be a solid red color as the prescan image is transfered at high speed to the host computer. When both the green and red portions of this LED are on, the LED will appear yellow.

Controller Status LED Color	Meaning
Oﬀ	Camera is idle
Solid green with yellow ﬂashes	Internal disk drive activity
Solid red	External USB interface activity

Insert

The camera insert has an LED that gives some status indications during prescans and scans. When the camera is powered up and ready to scan, the LED will display a ﬂashing green color. During a scan the LED will change to a solid red color throughout the scan with ﬂashes of yellow every few seconds and will return to a ﬂashing green when the scan is ﬁnished.

Insert Status LED Color	Meaning
Flashing green	Camera is idle
Solid red with yellow ﬂashes	Camera is scanning
