HP (Hewlett-Packard) ACC2 Aurora Digital Camera User Manual

CHAPTER 16 POSSIBLE ERRORS:
1) If the ACC2 program do not understand your new
timer or sequence file the reason can be that it is not a real
ASCII file. Rewrite the sequence file with EDIT in DOS.
Then try once more.
2) If the image processing capabilities of the PMIS program is
used when the ACC2 program is running, the communication
between ACC2 and PMIS can be lost (timed out). This message
window will appear:
Microsoft Visual Basic
Run time error '286'
Timeout while waiting for DDE response
Then the user has to stop the ACC2 program, (Stop and Exit).
Then he can start it again. The ACC2 program remember the last
image number stored to harddisk and will continue storing the
images with image number after this. No files are overwritten.
3) If the ACC2 program "runs off" the end of the timer file
the program will stop. It is then wise to have a sequence in
December 1999 as the last sequence. (The ACC2 program have
not been checked for the «year 2000 problem».)
4) After changing the timer file or the sequence file, the ACC2
program should be restarted
5) If the Garmin GPS 12XL receiver is running on battery power,
or lost track of all GPS satellites for a period of 10
minutes, it shuts itself off. It has to be restarted
manually. (The first data after a manual start is not the
time sequence and is ignored by the ACC2 program.)
6) If you in the sequence file have selected different settings
for normal mode and burst mode for the same second, the
normal mode selection for this second is overwritten by the
burst mode selection.
7) The PMIS software requires the Screen is set to 256 colours.
This is set in the Windows 95 Control Panel, Screen. This
must be set to 256 colours even if you have a great display
adapter with a lots of memory. This implies the computer
can not display a lot of colours at the same time. Then in
order to display the image the Image_1 window must be in
focus. The user must click the left mouse button when the
mouse cursor is in the Image_1 window in order to make the
window in focus. Then the upper border of the Image_1 window
is blue (not grey). (Hopefully the user has not changed the
standard Windows 95 windows colours).
