The time interval in seconds, for checking the availability of the camera, can be adjusted In the "Camera-
Alive-Test [sec]" input field. For this, a test command is sent to the camera periodically and it is checked
whether the camera responds. If there is no response from the camera, an error message is displayed
(see Fig. 149). After acknowledgement of the message with "OK", establishing the connection is
attempted again.
The value in the "Pause After Initialisation [sec]" input field gives the time in seconds, for which the
initialisation window (see Fig. 162
influences how long the initialisation status is visible. If this should not happen, enter the value "0". The
initialisation window is then closed immediately.
In addition, using the "Show Special Buttons" field, it can be selected whether the keyboard shortcuts
(see Fig. 165 Page 77) for controlling the camera should be shown. These buttons are then always
shown, if the checkbox for this field is ticked (see Fig. 148).
The "Serial Port No.", "Camera-Alive-Test [sec]" and "Show Special Buttons" fields are
disabled, if the component "Serial Communication" was disabled in the "Components"
settings (see chapter 10.1
