Symptoms | Roper PXD1000 instruction

•Verify that proper lighting exists and that the camera shutter is open and allowing sufficient light into lens.

•Verify that exposure time is not too short.

•Verify camera is in free-running default mode option mode.

•Verify that all “enable” lines are connected for the camera. For example, some cameras have a line called “Control line” which needs to be set to the CRTL0 in order for the camera to function. The Control Lines can be set either “HIGH” or “LOW” in the PXD configuration application under “Exposure Timing”.

•Image depth or image dimensions may be incorrect. Verify that camera is configured properly for pixel type, (i.e. 8, 10 12 bit, 32bit RGB etc..), and verify that image dimensions are set correctly, (i.e. 1000x1000 2000x2000, etc..)

Symptom:

•Receiving ERR_CORRUPT message in the PXD Configuration Application.

Possible Cause/Solution:

•This error message is a very non-specific message that indicates the application is unable to interpret or understand the image. A likely cause is that some setting in the configuration is incorrect. Correct configuration problem.

Symptom:

•Changing gray image or changing image present but indistinguishable or jumbled.

Possible Cause/Solution:

•Data lines wired incorrectly. Verify that on the PXD1000, the data lines coming from the camera are biased to the higher order bits (see example in this manual). For example, if a one-channel 10 bit camera was wired to pins 0 – 10 rather than 6-15 (like it is suppose to be), then only data-lines 9 and 10 would actually be receiving data input from the camera, and thus changing the display while data- lines 11-15 would remain constant. In other words, the 10 bit image would only have 2 bits of that image changing and thus cause an unrecognizable, but change image on the display.

•Camera channel selection.. For example, if a two-channel camera is sending 8 bit images to the FG, but the cable is wired for pins 0-15 rather than pins 8-15 and 24-31, then the resulting display may be unpredictable.

•Verify that pixels per-line are set incorrectly.

•Incorrect Pixel ordering scheme. If the pixel order sent out from the camera is 2- ch, half-lines reversed, and something other than this is selected in the PXD Configuration, then unpredictable results will occur.

•Any combination of the above. It is possible that the any of the above configuration issue may be present. Verify all configurations with the PXD Configuration Application and the Camera’s User Guide.

Symptoms:

•Image has speckling or small spots

•Sharp edges in the image have rings
