Multicolored camera LEDs

back of edgertronic high speed camera with LEDs labeled

Overview

There are four LEDs on the edgertronic high speed camera.

Location	LED	Meaning
On Ethernet connector near power connector	Network link and activity	Off - no network connection On - network connection Blinking - network activity, packets being sent or received
On Ethernet connector near USB connector	Network 10 or 100 Mbit/s	Off - 10 Mbit/s link On - 100 Mbit/s link
Next to System status LED	System status	See table below.
Close to Multi-function button	Camera status	See table below.

Global device status indications

• All LEDs off and fan off means no power.

• Red indicates error.

• If fan is on and system status LED is off then the device firmware needs to be updated (FPGA EEPROM contents are invalid). One customer used the wrong power supply and had these same symptoms, so first check you are using the power supply that came with the camera.

• Blinking LED indicates activity.

System LED

Color	Meaning
Off	No power.
Red	System processor not booting. Micro SD card needs to be re-imaged.
Red blinking	If camera LED is also blinking red, then the camera update file loaded on the big SD card is corrupt. Delete the file in the big SD card, save it on the big SD card again, and reboot the camera. You can get more details on what went wrong by browsing to the camera (http://10.11.12.13 if you are using the fixed IP address).
Red / Green	Test mode - you will not see this in normal operation.
Red / Yellow	Configured for DHCP-only but no DHCP server has provided an IP address. Camera cannot communicate over Ethernet.
Red / Magenta	DDR3 memory error. Power cycle the camera and if it happens again, email support.
Yellow blinking	System boot in progress. Blinks for 26 seconds then turns solid yellow.
Yellow / Blue	System ready, Ethernet not connected.
Yellow	System ready, Ethernet connected, using fixed IP address (typically 10.11.12.13 but can be changed by network configuration file)
Magenta	System ready, Ethernet connected, using fixed IP address other than default IP address.
Blue blinking	System boot in progress. Ethernet connected, camera using DHCP assigned IP address.
Blue	System ready, Ethernet connected, using DHCP assigned IP address.
White pattern	System firmware update in progress. Do not power cycle. Pattern Action Duration Yellow blinking booting 15 sec White / Yellow verifying update tarball 38 sec White blinking with camera LED White blinking Run update script optionally included in the update tarball 0 sec White verifying update image 38 sec White / Cyan build new root fs 4 sec White / Magenta switch to new root fs 3 sec White / Green saving to micro SD 4:55 min Yellow blinking rebooting 15 sec White blinking saving to SPI EEPROM 47 sec (SC1) 1:20 sec (SC2/SC2+/SC2X) Yellow blinking rebooting 15 sec White / Blue system performing factory reset or restoring user settings after firmware upgrade 7 sec

Total time to perform an update is around 7 minutes - be patient! Time will vary if you use a different micro SD card than the one that came with the camera.

Camera LED

The Camera LED indicates the current camera status condition.
Multiple status conditions may occur simultaneously, but the LED can only show one status condition at a time. The following table lists the status indications in priority order.

Color	Matching web message	Meaning
Off	*no message*	Waiting for system to become ready.
Red / Blue	Storage Unusable, Trying to Save	No usable storage device, usually due to the storage device being full and camera is ready to save video(s). Try a different storage device.
Red / White	Storage Unusable, No Genlock	No usable storage device, usually due to the storage device being full and slave camera unable to detect genlock signal from master camera. Try a different storage device.
Red / Green	Storage Unusable	No usable storage device, usually due to the storage device being full and camera is ready to be triggered. Try a different storage device.
Red / Magenta	Storage Unusable, Triggered	No usable storage device, usually due to the storage device being full and camera has been triggered and is filling post-trigger buffer. Try a different storage device.
Blue / White	Saving No Genlock Signal	Saving captured video to storage device and slave camera unable to detect genlock signal from master camera.
Blue / Green	Saving, Ready	Saving captured video to storage device and camera is ready to be triggered. (Background Save Mode)
Blue / Magenta	Saving, Triggered	Saving captured video to storage device and camera has been triggered and is filling post-trigger buffer. (Background Save Mode)
Blue blinking	Saving	Saving captured video to storage device.
White blinking	No Genlock Signal	Genlock slave camera unable to detect genlock signal from master camera.
White / Green	Genlock Configuration Warning	Incompatible Genlock master and slave settings and camera is ready to be triggered.
White / Magenta	Genlock Configuration Warning	Incompatible Genlock master and slave settings and camera has been triggered and is filling post-trigger buffer.
Green blinking	Pre-trigger Fill, Ready	Filling pre-trigger buffer and camera is ready to be triggered..
Green	Ready	Pre-trigger buffer filled (new capture video frames overwriting oldest data) and camera is ready to be triggered..
Magenta blinking	Triggered	Camera has been triggered and is filling post-trigger buffer.
Cyan	Reviewing	Reviewing previously captured, but unsaved videos. Individual frames that have been captured can be review and regions captured videos can be selectively saved.
Yellow blinking	Calibrating Camera	Calibrating.
White	Attached Accessories	Overrides the current camera LED pattern for 3 seconds to indicate an accessory, such as a radar device, has been attached.
