[Elphel-support] Aborted as retry counter expired

[Dimitrios]

I already did that, replaced the 12V PS and used a 19V instead. Could 
not recreate the problem. Then reconnected the original PS and started 
measuring. Now I cannot recreate the problem with the 12V PS either. 
Previously I had the problem occurring every once in a while, but did 
not concentrate on it because I was trying to do the recording in burst 
mode.

Then again, maybe it is not the 12V PS that caused it. I see in the 
camvc_camcomm.js that the "Aborted as retry counter expired" alert is 
caused by a timeout due to failure to receive a reply from the camera. 
Next time I'll do a little javascript watch if/when it happens and 
report back.
