Frequently Asked Question

NB: 

1). The CoaXPress Frame Grabber support Test Mode packet traffic. The test packets on the Frame Grabber are per link, therefore you need to configure and check each link where the camera is connected. The test mode packets will be received on the Frame Grabber only if the link is stable with the camera and the Test Mode is supported and initiated on the camera. It is also advised to make sure the stream from the camera is disabled to not contradict the Test Mode packets.

2). To reset the test counters you need to set the value for each to "0"
