Creation

The creation of the Initialization Commands can only be initiated via the button Create and test the selected Initialization Commands on the Initialization Commands tab. Before doing so, the settings or changes should be checked to ensure that all required registers are selected or those not required are deselected and that the register values correspond to the desired settings for operation.

Creation steps

The creation of the Initialization Commands comprises several actions that are performed in the background:

Test writing of the Initialization Commands to the connected camera.
Test reading of the previously written Initialization Commands from the connected camera.
If value differences or errors are detected, a list with detailed information appears. If no critical errors have occurred, the user can still accept the error-free Initialization Commands.
Write the Initialization Commands array to the ImageAcquisition TcCOM object of the camera.

Test writing and subsequent reading enables you to validate whether the camera accepts the initialization commands. One of the following windows is displayed during the generation:

The following status information is displayed:

Number of Features	Number of parameters with which the Initialization Commands were created.
Iteration	Number of previous attempts to write the Initialization Commands to the camera. In case of success, this is "1". In case of failure this value increases, as an attempt is made again to write the Initialization Commands successfully to the camera without the erroneous parameters. Normally no more than two iterations should occur; if they do, however, the concatenation in the TcCOM parameters of the ImageAcquisition must be deactivated.
Number of Errors	Number of errors that have occurred. These are described in more detail in the following window.

	If the writing of the Initialization Commands to the camera works very quickly and successfully, the window disappears again immediately and is not visible.

Messages

After the successful creation of the Initialization Commands, the camera - due to the test writing - has exactly the configuration that will be written to the camera during operation later on. If errors occur during the test writing of the Initialization Commands to the camera, these are displayed in the following window:

Creation 3: — Uncritical errors when creating Initialization Commands

As long as no FATAL errors have occurred, the Initialization Commands can be created and saved anyway by clicking Create anyway. In this case the erroneous parameters will be excluded from the Initialization Commands and accordingly not written to the camera later on.

In the case of a FATAL error the Initialization Commands cannot be saved. Therefore, you cannot click Create anyway. First of all the cause of the error must be rectified.

These error cases and their rectification are described below Troubleshooting.

	Warnings when creating the Initialization Commands Warnings can also occur in addition to errors. These are mostly just an indication that the camera has not accepted and corrected a value.
