Case temperature can be verified using the EVGetSystemConfig(“Internal.Temperature”)Extended Native Mode command. When
issued, it returnsthe vision system'sinternaltemperature in degreesCelsius,which willbe ±5 degreesabove the vision system case
temperature. Refer to the In-Sight
®
ExplorerHelp file for more information. Additionalcooling measuresare required if the case
temperature cannot be kept below 50°C. Examplesof such measuresinclude: mounting the vision system to a heat sinkusing the M3
mounting screws,reducing the ambient temperature and ensuring there isair flow over the vision system.
