Control Panel

The control panel is a new feature on the Elphel cameras that allows for:

• A quick scan of camera hardware & software status
• A separate report of camera hardware & software status can be generated, this can be sent to Elphel for the aid of troubleshooting the cameras or for personal use.

Current Status

This project is currently in BETA, and can be found at http://camera address/UI.html after reflashing with the latest tarball

The Control Panel can show the following information

• Camera IP address, Gateway, Broadcast Address, Netmask, and other network settings
• Camera Serial Number
• Camera Software Version
• Processes (Daemons) currently running on the camera
• FPGA info
• fpga_sdram_phase
• Cat_interupts

You can change the following network settings with the Control Panel

• Camera IP address
• Broadcast address
• Netmask
• Gateway

All of this information is included in a status report the camera is able to generate. This report can be sent to Elphel support for help with troubleshooting.

Version 2
