4.1.3 Configuration Tool Basics
The volatile (RAM) memory in the camera contains the parameter settings that control the current
operation of the camera. This group of parameter settings in the volatile memory is known as the
work configuration set or “work set” (see Section
3.15 ). The CCT+ is used to view or change the
parameter settings in the work set.
When the CCT+ is opened and a port is selected, it queries the camera and displays a list of the
current settings for the parameters in the work set.
To simplify navigation, parameters are organized
in related groups. For example, all parameters
related to the camera exposure can be found in
the
Exposure
group.
When you click on the plus or minus sign beside
a group (+ or -), the parameters in this group will
be shown or hidden, respectively.
To get an overview of all parameters available on
the connected camera, maximize the CCT+
window and click the + sign beside each group.
The camera parameter names always appear in
the left column of the list. The current setting for
each parameter appears in the right column.
By default, a
Parameter Description
window is
displayed. In this window, you can find basic
information on the selected parameter and if
present, on the dependencies that may exist
between the selected parameter and other
parameter(s).
Modifiable parameter settings and available
commands appear in black. Read-only settings
and unavailable commands appear in gray.
If you make a change to one of the parameter
settings, that change will immediately be
transmitted from the CCT+ to the camera’s work
set. Because the parameters in the work set
control the current operation of the camera, you
will see an immediate change in the camera’s
operation.
By default, the CCT+ automatically updates the displayed settings every 5 seconds. The feature
behind this behavior is called Auto Refresh. If auto refresh is not enabled, the display will not
update if a parameter setting is changed using another tool, if power to the camera is switched off
and on, or if the connected camera is exchanged while the CCT+ is displaying the parameter
settings. To manually refresh the display, you can use the
Refresh
button in the top right corner of
the tool.
