5 of the following procedure
only need to be done if the camera protocol
handlers you want to use are not yet installed.
To add camera control handlers, do the following:
1. Click Add/Modify Camera Protocol Handlers
at the bottom of the screen. The Protocol
Handler Form screen appears.

2. Click Import Protocol Handler XML File into
Configuration .
3. In the file handler screen, navigate to the folder
containing the XML protocol configuration files
you downloaded, and then highlight all the files
that you want to import into the current EASY
CPU configuration.
Note: The current configuration can be a
“New” configuration (the default when you first
start EASY CPU), or a configuration previously
read from an MPCPU, or opened from a
previously saved configuration file. Once
imported, the Protocol Handler becomes part
of the configuration. Like any other
configuration setting, the configuration must be
written to an MPCPU or saved to a
configuration file to be preserved. For example,
if you import Protocol Handlers and save the
configuration to a file, those Protocol Handlers
will be present when the configuration file is
subsequently opened.
4. Click Open and the selected files appear in
left-hand column, Camera Handlers, of the
Protocol Handler Form screen (Figure 3). The
right side of the screen displays the protocol
parameters of the highlighted protocol. These
parameters are for information only and cannot
be changed here.
