Vicon Vanguard status light

The following topics describe the status light on the Vicon Vanguard camera, which provides feedback on camera operation.
About the Vanguard status light
A single tri-color LED on the front of the camera provides feedback on camera operation. This status LED can be deactivated through the Vicon application software.
In certain camera modes and in certain system configurations, the status LED on the camera is automatically turned off to ensure maximum power is available to the strobe.
While the camera is booting, the status LED color turns cyan (light blue) when it connects to the Vicon application software. (If no Vicon application software is currently running, the LED remains off.)
When the camera is communicating with Vicon application software, the status LED turns cyan.
While the camera firmware is updating, the status LED turns green. After rebooting, it returns to cyan, as normal.
After the camera has booted, you can view its status by observing the status LED and also by monitoring the camera in the Vicon application software. For information on the significance of the status LED colors, see Vanguard status LED.
Vanguard status LED colors
The color of the status LED provides information about the current state of the camera. (Note that the status LED colors listed below are subject to change.)
| Display | Status LED color | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Off | Booting, not yet connected |
| Cyan | Enabled (default) |
| Red | Not contributing |
| Red (flashing) | Hardware fault/firmware issue |
| Blue (flashing) | Bumped |
| Off | Deactivated |
| Magenta | Selected |
| Off | Calibration (Wand count == 0) (The start calibration progress bar indicates that calibration has started.) |
| Magenta (flashing, period decreases with wand count) | Calibration (0 < Wand count < Required calibration frames) The progress bar indicates the fraction of the required calibration frames that have been received from this camera. |
| Green | Calibration (Wand count >= Required calibration frames) |
| Cyan | Automasking |
| Off | Status LED turned off |
The order of priority is from top of the above table (lowest) to bottom (highest), so that the LEDs for a camera that is both bumped and selected are magenta.
