“Camera reported error: Value Error”
The camera controller returns this error when an incoming parameter value is successfully con- verted to a number, but is out of range or otherwise inappropriate. This message should never be encountered in normal operation.
“Camera reported error: Math Error”
The camera controller returns this error when the result of its internal calculations (possibly using several parameters) produces an overflow or underflow. This message should never be encountered in normal operation.
SCSI Errors
“Comm returned error: xxx”
This is an error generated by the SCSI system. The “xxx” in the message will be replaced with the actual error number. There are a large number of errors that the SCSI manager may return and ViewFinder™ does not attempt to explain them. Turning off the camera and the host computer and checking the SCSI connections to make certain the connectors are seated properly in their sockets and that the cables are not frayed or damaged may eliminate this error. Also, check to see that there are no other devices on the SCSI chain with the camera’s id (i.e. 6).
Other Errors
“Unknown Error”
The camera controller has reported an error with an unrecognized error number. This message should never be encountered in normal operation.
“The camera disk is full”
There is not enough room on the Better Light camera controller’s disk to perform the requested scan to disk. Remember that there must be sufficient contiguous space on the disk to accommodate a new scan.
“There is insufficient memory available to perform that task. Try quitting other applications.”
This error may be encountered when attempting a Scan to RAM. A Scan to RAM allocates
space from system memory (i.e. the memory not assigned to running applications of the Operating System). Assigning more memory to the ViewFinder™ application will not help this situation. Quit- ting other applications, turning off some system extensions or adding more RAM to your computer should help.
