Clearing the Camera’s Default Pattern
To clear a camera’s default pattern, you must belong to, and log in under, a user group that allows you to edit the patterns for that camera.
To clear the default pattern:
1. Open the Device Control dialog box for the desired camera and go to the Patterns tab.
2. Click the default pattern from the list of patterns, and then click Clear Default. The selected pattern no longer appears in bold print in the
list. There is no default pattern for that camera.
SEQUENCES
A sequence is a predefined series of camera movements and positions. Sequences are implemented in VMX300(-E) as scripts defined by the
system administrator. To run a script, you must belong to, and log in under, a user group that allows you to run that script.
To run a script:
1. If the camera is switched to a destination device like an external monitor, open the device pop-up menu by right-clicking the destination
device in the Device List, or right-clicking the device’s icon on a map. If the camera is switched to a custom window, open the custom
window drop-down menu by clicking the window and pressing Alt-Space Bar.
2. Click Run Script and select the desired script from the pop-up menu. The selected script runs. An entry for the script appears in the Session
Manager.
AUXILIARIES
Figure 76. Device Control Dialog Box - Auxiliaries Tab
ASCII cameras can support auxiliary features, such as a wiper or lights, which are physically connected to auxiliary points on the camera. Each
camera can have a limited number of auxiliaries. The maximum number depends on the camera model.
Auxiliaries are listed on the Auxiliaries tab of the Device Control dialog box. By default, auxiliaries are named Auxiliaryi, where i is the auxiliary’s
number. Your system administrator can change an auxiliary’s name to something more meaningful.
Controlling an Auxiliary
To control a camera’s auxiliaries, you must belong to, and log in under, a user group that allows you to control the auxiliaries for that camera.
VMX300(-E) allows you to set an auxiliary to run continuously, or to run for just a moment.
To run an auxiliary for a moment, select the desired auxiliary name on the Auxiliaries tab and click Momentary. The auxiliary feature operates for
a moment, then stops.
To run an auxiliary continuously, select desired auxiliary on the Auxiliaries tab, or double-click the auxiliary name. The auxiliary feature operates
until the auxiliary’s check box is cleared.
The Momentary option stops the auxiliary feature from running continuously. If the auxiliary is running continuously when you give the command
to run it momentarily, the feature operates for a moment, then stops, and the check box is automatically cleared.
NOTE: In order for auxiliary controls to function as described here, the camera’s auxiliary setting must be set to continuous mode.
