EXCALIBUR SE
Excalibur SE Icon Controls
Selecting an icon from the map display activates the function
defined for that icon by the icon setup program, Icons Setup.
In many cases, selecting the icon also brings up a dialog box
for operator control actions defined for that icon. Depending
on the action or type of icon, the icon border changes color
when activated.
Camera Icons
Camera icons include the fixed camera, pan/tilt camera, dome,
and "bullseye" preset target icons. When a camera icon is
selected from the displayed map, the camera is called to the
monitor it has been assigned to by the icon setup program, and
the icon changes to green.
A dialog box is also displayed for this camera, as illustrated
below, with the appropriate pan/tilt, lens, and auxiliary
controls that were selected in the icon setup program. If the
camera has a preset shot assigned to it, the camera will pan,
tilt, and zoom to that preset shot automatically. The operator
may now control that camera by the dialog box controls.
Camera icons that were setup with the "Pan/Tilt/Zoom/Focus"
option selected, provide pan/tilt arrow buttons and lens zoom
and focus buttons in their dialog boxes. To control the camera
pan/tilt drive, press the arrow button and release it when the
camera is at the desired view. To control the lens zoom or
focus, press the respective button and hold until the lens is at
the desired view.
Iris open and close buttons are provided in the dialog box if the
"Iris Control" option was selected in the camera icon setup.
To control the lens iris, press the respective button and hold
until the lens view is as desired.
Buttons for "Auto Pan" and "Random Pan" are included in the
dialog box if this option was selected in the camera icon setup.
These buttons activate auto and random pan functions in the
camera pan/tilt unit. To start the functions, press the respective
button. To stop random or auto pan action, press the LEFT or
RIGHT arrow pan buttons.
If any "AUX" options were selected in the camera icon setup,
the dialog box includes the appropriate "Aux On/Off" buttons.
These are provided to control auxiliary relay functions. Any
names defined for Aux 1 or Aux 2 at icon setup are shown
instead of the Aux numbers in the dialog box.
If the camera icon is set up with no pan/tilt, lens, or auxiliary
actions, there are no camera controls in the dialog box, as
illustrated below. The camera is called to the defined monitor
and this dialog box displayed.
To exit and resume a tour sequence when finished viewing a
camera, press the "Run" button in the dialog box (for any of
the camera types). If an alarm is in the queue, pressing the
"Run" button does not resume the tour, but removes the dialog
box and hold the selected camera on its monitor.
To exit the dialog box, but hold that camera on the monitor,
press the "Hold" button, or select another icon. The dialog box
clears, but the camera is held on the monitor it was called to.
The icon of a camera on hold stays green.
