The ToolbarMainWindow icon allows
you to setup the main toolbar for Automation Manager. It will
give you access to several property pages so you can conigure the
toolbar in each mode of the software, and add various buttons that are
not readily available when the software is origionally loaded.
Mode
The mode tab allows you to
configure which buttons will be displayed on the toolbar in each mode
of Automation Manager
The first text box allows you to
navigate through the four modes of Automation Manager; Auto, Operator, Maintenance, Configuration.
Whatever you type in the
"Caption" text box will be displayed above the main toolbar after the
name of the workspace.
All of the check boxes represent
buttons that can be displayed under the various categories on the main
toolbar.
For example: In Auto mode the
only button we are currently displaying in the "Mode" category is the
"Auto" button. Consequently, the Mode section of the toolbar
looks like this.
However, if you select the other
two boxes, the "Sel" and "Lock" then those buttons would also become
available in Auto mode.
Each of the categories, Mode,
Camera, Program, Run and Layout, represent a different category on the
main toolbar. Each category has buttons with functions unique to
that category that you may or may not want displayed in the various
modes.
The Run and Layout categories are unique because
you may have all the boxes selected and still have nothing appear on
the main toolbar. This will happen if you have not configured any
run or layout buttons. Once you have configured a layout or run
button checking these boxes will cause them to be displayed on the
toolbar.
Note:
The smaller buttons in the top-right of the main toolbar cannot be
reconfigured through the software, their arrangement is
hard-coded and cannot be changed.
The second "Mode" tab allows you
to change the default layouts that load with each mode, and the help
file reference that loads with each mode. You can see there is
not help file reference for auto mode. This is because the help
button is not available in auto mode.
Camera Toolbar
The Camera Toolbar tab allows you
to configure some of the camera settings.
The Caption will change the name of the
heading for the camera section.
The Default Image Directory is the
directory Automation Manager will initially go to when you have grabbed
an image (using the grab button) and then click the "Save" button to
save the image.
The Freeze Live on Camera Switch box
will only make a difference if your system is setup to run two live
feeds at one time. Some hardware configurations allow both live
feeds to remain live when switching. If you would like to freeze
the first feed when you switch to the second make sure this box is
checked.
Program
The Program tab allows you to
change the Program heading name and the default load and save
directory.
The Caption will change the name of the
heading for the program section.
The Default Program Directory is the
directory Automation Manager will initially go to when
you try to save or load a program using the load and save buttons in
the program section of the toolbar.
Layout
The Layout tab allows you to
display the layout buttons on the main toolbar and edit those
buttons. For more details on layouts click here.
Run
Any button display can be edited and it display/action attributes modified
