Chapter 2 System Components 16:24:05 Creating SW System 1: SoftSys1 16:24:10 Creating IO Server for System GigEVision1 16:24:11 Creating IO Server for System SoftSys1 In this state, FrontRunner comes up and, although you only have the one camera connected, there are two cameras in the vision system step list: The original camera is still camera 1 although it is noted as being disconnected. Any job that we were using before would still keep the same camera channel assignments, so if they were using camera 1 before they will still try to use camera 1 even though it is not there. We opened a job that had been saved for the first camera and tried to take a picture.
It failed and output the red error bar below the buffer in FrontRunner. The debug window also informed us that this was not going to work: 16:31:33 GigeVision1: No Acquisition control! There is no control connection for Camera 1 16:31:33 GigEVision1: Camera 1 Not Detected -- Check the camera, camera power, and cable ! Live video will still start but won't do anything. Warning: If you are using a slow laptop then it could also be hard to stop. We need to get back to where the same jobs will load in the same way as before but will use the new camera instead. We need to edit the dm.config file. Again, be sure to quit FrontRunner and the Backplane before attempting this.
