Documentation
Known issues
These cameras show problems with booting at low temperatures (below about 0C). This is one of the reason why a liquid heat exchanger is used to keep the temperature of the cameras always above zero. These cameras must be connected to the
RegulatedCoolingLine. We have evidences that an higher voltage in the power supply can mitigate the issue of boot at low temperature. The power supply in the
MoCon is set at 14V (??)
Installation and maintenance
This device doesn't require to upload any firmware. The only required configuration is setting the IP address. See
AvtCameraSoftware
In case of malfunctioning one can try to use alternative software: the AVT Viewer is available in
AvtCameraSoftware.
For testing and easy-use without a complete ARGOS sw environment (e.g. from a laptop) there is also a custom developed IDL package to operate AVT cameras available in
AvtCameraSoftware
