h2. Trouble shooting

Some version of TIA may give an error of that at the end of it says

51
<pre>
52
_ctypes.COMError: (-2147352567, 'Exception occurred.', (u"Camera 'tia' does not exist.''.u'ESVision', None, 0L, 0))
53
</pre>
54
This happens because TIA scripting (ESVision) knows the camera by a different name.
55
56
The correct name may be in TUI/CCDCamera panel.  Or you can find out from these python commands when the camera in question is active (You can make it active by acquire an image in TIA).
57
<pre>
58
from pyscope import tia
59
t = tia.get_tiaccd()
60
c = t.ccd.Camera
61
</pre>
62
You should get the camera name as the output.
