Status Indicator (GigE cameras)
A dual-color LED on the back of the camera gives information about the current status of the GigE CMOS cameras. LED Green
It blinks slowly when the camera is not grabbing images.When the camera is grabbing images the LED blinks at a rate equal to the frame rate. At slow frame rates, the LED blinks. At high frame rates the LED changes to an apparently continuous green light, with intensity proportional to the ratio of readout time over frame time.
LED Red
Red indicates an active serial communication with the camera.
