Other parameters are more general and remain often the same from project to project.
Instead of having to select them every time a new program is created, they are loaded as
"presets". These parameters include:
• Timer
• Manual image release
• Release time
• Overlap
If one or several of these parameters need to be changed, they can be accessed in the
"program edit" menu.
Before going on assignment, always run a test to see if the program delivers images
that can be successfully stitched.
If the images cannot be stitched, check your nodal point settings (A, B). Also check
the choice of camera and focal length. Increase the horizontal and vertical overlap
and/or increase the number of images per row.

The Program Wizard is now complete and the new program "P2" is
computed and stored in the VR Drive software.
Check the settings in the program info window and by expanding it
with the "expand" button.
In summary, with the help of the Program Wizard the following
program parameters have been defined:
• Mode
• ID
• Info text
• Camera
• Focal length
• A- + B-value
• X-angle (horizontal)
• Y-angle (vertical)
• Rows (elevation + number of images)
• Sequence
• X / Y speed
• Pause before / pause after
• Bracketing
These are project-specific parameters which often change from
assignment to assignment.
• Repeat
• Acceleration
• Mirror prerelease
• Orientation of camera
