OPERATING THE SYSTEM
Selecting an OTHER CODES observation code:
When the operator has made OTHER CODES his observation code type and then presses
the OBSERVATION CODES button, a list of codes is displayed alphabetically with an arrow
pointing at the middle line of the display. The operator may move up and down through the
list using the Up Arrow or Down Arrow keys. However, he may more easily move about the
list by pressing the first character of the desired code and the list will jump to that section
of the list (or the nearest letter prior to that letter). If a match is found, that first letter
will start blinking. He may continue pressing letters (second, third, fourth, etc., and the
list will further be sorted and the additional matching letters will start blinking. Pressing
<BACKSPACE> will move back a letter and again, re-sort the list based on what has been
selected thus far.
Moving around the lists is all displayed in the ONSCREEN display, which will not be recorded.
Pressing <ENTER> at any time will move to the secondary (code expanded) definition of
the code, at which time <ENTER> again will select the code). When a code is selected,
it is written to the top one or two lines of the CAMERA display which will be recorded
(assuming the DVR is on).
The operator may choose to position an arrow either prior to, or after displaying an
observation code, and vice-versa. In the former case, the arrow will stay displayed on the
camera display while the operator selects and displays an observation code. In the latter
case, the observation code will stay displayed while the operator positions and displays an
arrow. This can be quite useful if the same observation appears in more than place in the
image displayed, such that the operator wants to record two separate arrows with the same
observation code. Or alternately, if the operator wants to record two different observation
codes with the same arrow, he may choose to do that.
In other words, neither the arrow or observation code are removed from the camera display
unless the operator repeats the operation (selecting an observation code with one already
displayed removes the former observation code and selecting ARROW MODE with an arrow
already displayed removes the former arrow), or exits entirely to the SYSTEM MENU, LIVE
MODE, or one of the CLIENT, USER, OWNER or FREE FORM PAGES.
