If a blue screen appears, examine all connections to ensure that they
are secure. Also ensure that the camera is receiving power.
If the connections are secure and a power supply is available, then
perhaps an incorrect channel or Grabber was selected.
Additional error source are described in the appendix.
Note:
When operating multiple Grabbers in a computer, the user must select
a primary Grabber. Designating a Grabber can be done under
Options.
The
Frame Rate
display
xx (xx=
Number) can be found on the lower
bar of the main window. The value represents the number of images
that are generated per second in the live window. The value is
dependant on the size of the image, and the capacity of the computer,
because the digitized image must be transmitted from the computer’s
RAM to the graphic card to eventually show up on the screen.
Note:
Despite the processor’s capacity, the Grabber always stores image
data in real time in the main memory (RAM) of the PC.
Further processing of the data is dependant on the CPU of the PC.
The status bar further contains a counter that displays the total number
of live images captured (
Frames Captured
).
When the counter has reached 255, it automatically begins a new
sequence starting with 0.
The status bar can also be used to indicate whether the Grabber is
active or not.
