CIF Camera Window
The
CIF Camera Window tool allows the user to capture the image of a
screen/program that is running on the desktop in order to display it
within the CIF Viewer. This image will display as live feed so any
changes made within the captured program will change automatically
within the CIF Viewer until the user stops the live feed. This can be
useful for remote demonstrations or for presentations.
Using the CIF Camera Window Tool
In
order to begin using the CIF Camera Window tool the user must first
drag and drop the image from the ROTCam to the ROTMain, save the
workspace, and restart Automation Manager.
This will allow the tool to be accessable from the Camera Toolbar.
This
is how the Camera Toolbar will appear. The third option in is where the
CIF Camera Window is located. Every time the user will left-click on the
image it will scroll through the other camera tools. When the user
right-clicks it will bring up the tool's property pages.
Right Click on the CIF Cam Window tool either in the toolbar or in the ROTMain to bring up the tool's property pages.

The Camera Properties page allows the user to choose which program to display.
Source: use the dropdown menu to choose from the list of programs that are currently running
Playback Speed: set the speed in milliseconds for how quickly the image will update within the CIF Viewer
Capture From Desktop:
if checked it will capture the area in which the program was running.
This is useful for certain applications that will not return an
image if the image is not captured from the desktop. If this box
is left un-checked the captured image will be the program window. The
difference between the two options is that if the box is checked
and the user moves the program being captured they can actually move it
out of the screen area. If the box is un-checked the captured
image is the program so it can be moved without dropping it from the
screen.
To Run the Program
Once the above options have been chosen the tool is ready to capture the image.
Make sure that the CIF CamWindow is within the Camera Toolbar.
Select "Live" from the Camera Toolbar.
As
long as the live button is running the image will be captured in real
time, changing as the information within the program is changing.
If the live button is selected again it will stop the live feed from the image and just deliver a still shot of the program.
This is how the program would appear within the CIF Window.
