Follow this procedure when the crosshairs and other overlay plug-ins on a GigE camera have become scrambled, skewed, mis-placed, etc.
1) Open a new terminal
2) Open a new session of hutch python by typing mecpython
3) Load the MEC laser Python package using from meclas import *
or %run /reg/g/pcds/pyps/apps/hutch-python/mec/mec/macros/meclas.py
(or whatever the current command happens to be – this may change in the future beyond when these notes were taken!)
4) Execute the following command: CAM.ConfigReset()
5) Wait for the command to finish executing, then re-start the camera acquisition, and the crosshairs and other overlays should be fixed.
