Camera Toolbar






The Camera Toolbar allows you to control your various camera inputs, grab, save and load images in the viewer. If the Camera toolbar is not loaded it is because you have no cameras loaded into the system. Automation Manager will only display the Camera Toolbar when it recognizes that a camera in the system.

There are five buttons that are a part of the Camera Toolbar. However, not every mode will display every button. To edit these settings you will need to use the Toolbar Main Window settings in the ROT.


Use the camera select box to select which camera you want to use. If this box is not shown it is because you have only one camera in the system.
Note: If you have several cameras that use Microsoft Direct Show then they can all be access through the same number and then switched by using the Props button. Once a Direct Show camera is selected in the Props menu you will need to hit the Sel. button to initialize the camera before it can be used.


The Props button will display a property page for the currently selected camera. Each camera will have its own uinque set of properties. If you click the Props button and nothing happens then there are no properties available for the currently selected camera.

The Grab button will take a picture from the currently selected camera. This image can be saved using the "Save" button in the Camera toolbar or you can run a program against that image.


The Save button will save the currently grabbed image.  The Load button will load an image from your hard disk into the image viewer so that you can run a program against it.
