7 - Troubleshooting Using the GigE Camera Control Tool The GigE Camera Control Tool acts as a handy device for diagnosing issues with camera discovery, packet loss, and for setting custom parameters into the camera. The control tool uses the same driver as AutoVISION/Visionscape so acts as a sanity check. 7.1 - Running the JAI Control Tool to Debug Camera Connection and Bandwidth Issues Close any AutoVISION or Visionscape jobs before running the Camera Control Tool. This will release the cameras so that the Control Tool can take control of the cameras. The tool is started as shown below.
7.2 - Camera Discovery and Taking Control When the tool starts up, it scans all the networks and USB hubs for cameras. It then lists the discovered camera in the left hand panel. Seeing if the cameras are discovered is the first level of troubleshooting. Change user from Beginner to Guru. Click on any camera to take control and see its settings.
