Re: Bridge resetting

Everyone,
The +5 power supply for the camera cannot supply both the DAP and the camera. The 5 volt convertor in the KOP is required to be wired to the +12 output on the PD. All power supplies on the PD are designed to continue supplying the stated voltage until the battery voltage falls to 4.5 volt for a significant length of time. (close to a second) At 4.5 volts the power supplies stop producing voltage. If that were the case, the Crio would also reboot. This is a classic description of the 5 volt convertor being wired to a breaker output on the side of the PD, not the dedicated +12 volt output at the end of the PD.
