Status monitoring
4 Status monitoring
FTX-VF status can be accessed most easily by VisionWeb remote control PC software but
also by VisionPanel, the Vision frame’s front panel and SNMP. The following screen grabs
are from the VisionWeb GUI and are used to identify the various available status indications.
The menu tree for VisionWeb, front panel and VisionPanel operation is identical although the
appearance and labelling of some controls may vary according to the available space. See
the Vision frame and VisionPanel’s User Manuals for more details.
4.1 Controlling cards via VisionWeb
Crystal Vision cards use an XML file to create a control database that is used by the Vision
frame front panel controller, VisionPanel and VisionWeb software. VisionWeb software offers
a full range of controls with slider controls etc.
Accessing the Vision frame homepage with a PC browser via the Ethernet connector of a
frame
will display a list of the cards fitted. (See ‘Vision’ frame User Manual for more details.)
