Tour Controls
Tours provide a way of making a MIC continually move to points of interest within
its visible range. There are 2 different methods to enable this;
Preset Tours
recalls
preset positions in the set order waiting at each for a desired dwell time while
Pattern Tours
mimic the operator’s movements whilst recording so it can follow a
defined path.
Access to these methods is entirely protocol specific, meaning if it is shaded out,
the feature is not supported. In some cases there are up to 6 tours available.
Preset Tours
To save a preset tour, simply enter the end preset number into the input box and a
corresponding dwell time and press
Program Tour
. This initiates a simple tour with
each steps preset position being fixed and the dwell time constant across the tour,
stored to the Tour Number. More comprehensive program methods are normally
available through the control system.
The
Tour Number
selects the tour to which you save and also play from. The
Start
Tour
button initiates the current programmed sequence for the given Tour Number.
Pattern Tours
Depending on the protocol, the controls for these vary. Some fully implement the
recording functionality and in these cases the
Start Recording
and
Stop Recording
buttons are used, with user manual control in between. This is again stored to the
Tour Number
as set.
Other protocols use an add point method, where
Start Recording
and
Stop Recording
are used in the same way, but instead of manual control in the
middle
Add Tour Point
is used to insert a preset position with the options specified
Preset
,
Dwell
and
Speed
.
Soft Stops and Non Dwell Zones
This feature offers a method of restricting the MIC's movements to a certain area.
A "box" is defined using the
Top Left
and
Bottom Right
buttons which provides the
area within which the MIC is allowed to move. To clear the area set both corners to
the same location.
Non-Dwell Zone
This provides the opposite of Soft Stops, in that an area can be defined within
which the MIC cannot stop. The area is defined and cleared in the same way using
the
Top Left
and
Bottom Right
buttons. Once the MIC enters the area it passes
straight through to the opposite edge.
Clear
This button clears both the
Soft Stops
and the
Non-Dwell Zone
, which is required
after a MIC has its protocol re-flashed (see Programming section).
