NOTE: Camera states contain information about all configurable camera parameters. They do not
contain the NUC data, but they do contain the filenames of the currently loaded NUCs. These NUCs
will be reloaded with the state, however, if the NUCs are changed, deleted, or renamed, the state may
not be able to load the NUCs.
NOTE: The Cooled A-Series Cameras have two internal clocks: A Real Time Clock (RTC) and a timestamp
clock. The RTC is a low-resolution clock used to keep system time. The RTC has a battery backup and will retain
time while the camera is off. The timestamp clock is a high-resolution clock (1us). This clock does not have a
battery backup but at power up the timestamp clock is initialized to the current RTC time and will free-wheel until
the camera is power cycled.
5.1.1 Adjust Time Controls
This dialog is accessed using the Adjust Time menu option under the “hamburger button”. This allows
the user to directly set the camera system’s time. The Sync camera time to PC time button will pull a
time value from the PC clock and set the RTC clock. The Get button displays the current time that the
camera has in its RTC clock. The Set button will set the camera’s RTC clock using the manually-
entered time.
