# Status Indicator

The status indicator provides the following information:

Indicator | Description
--- | ---
1 | Processing time
2 | Vision System state
3 | Online status

### Processing Time

The processing time indicator displays the total processing time in milliseconds. Hover the cursor over the processing time indicator to bring up a tooltip containing the following additional information:

- Acquisition Acquisition is the process or result of the vision system acquiring a new image. time

- Inspection time

- Queue time

### Vision System State

The vision system state indicator shows the current state of the vision system. The default state is Idle (OK). When the vision system encounters an issue, the vision system state indicator shows errors and warnings.

Note: The vision system state indicator is only available in Offline mode.
List of vision system state indicator errors and warnings:

Error/Warning | Description
Acquisition Error Timeout | The acquisition timed out before finishing. Increase the Acquisition Timeout setting, or make sure that your vision system receives encoder ticks in case of encoder-driven acquisition.
Acquisition Cancel | The acquisition was canceled.
Acquisition Error | The acquisition is faster than the vision system can process and is out of buffers. Possible solutions: Decrease the job A job is a user-configured program in Spreadsheet consisting of functions and designed for specific applications. You can create and edit jobs using the Spreadsheet interface, and load them on a vision system for deployment in a live environment. processing time. Decrease the motion speed. Decrease the PointCloud A point cloud is a 3D structure that consists of the data points collected by a 3D vision system during acquisition. resolution.
Missed Triggers | The vision system receives a trigger event when the vision system is still acquiring the previous one. Possible solutions: Reduce the scan length so the second trigger does not arrive while the vision system is still acquiring the previous one. Check for noise in the trigger signal.
Unknown Error | The error is unknown.
Encoder Overrun | The vision system is not able to acquire all profiles required based on the received encoder ticks. Even if the vision system is able to acquire images, some tools can generate unexpected results due to missing profiles in the middle of the PointCloud. Possible solutions: Adjust the detection zone to increase the maximum frame rate. If the detection zone is already adjusted, move the vision system further from the target. Note: Moving the vision system further away results in a lower resolution on the Z axis, but the vision system acquires the same Z range with a smaller ROI. If maximum frame rate does not increase when you decrease the detection zone, use a smaller exposure. The exposure may be the limiting factor on the maximum frame rate. Enable binning. Note: If you enable binning, you decrease the resolution along the laser line. Decrease the Y resolution by using a larger value. Decrease the motion speed of the machine. Check for noise in the encoder signal received by the vision system.
Transfer Error | The Transfer Error occurs if the scan speed is significantly over the maximum speed. Use the same possible solutions listed in the Encoder Overrun warning.
Laser Enabled Signal Low | The Laser Enable Signal is not correctly connected to the device. See the In-Sight L38 Series Vision System Reference Manual for more details.

### Online Status

The online status indicator shows whether the vision system is Online or Offline. For more information, see Online and Offline.
