Camera Control Tool for CM-030PMCL-RH 

The Camera Control Tool for Windows 2000/XP can be downloaded from www.jai.com.  
The control tool contains a camera control program and a developer's kit for integrating the 
control tool in your own software. For the integrator and experienced user, the Camera 
Control Toll is much more than a program with a window interface. It also provides an easy 
and efficient ActiveX interface built for MS Windows 2000/XP. The OCX interface has the 
ability to connect to the camera using the serial interface of the PC by reading and writing 
properties for the camera. This integration requires simple programming skills within Visual 
Basic, Visual C++ or similar languages in a Microsoft Windows environment.  

8.1.

 

Camera Control Tool Interface  

The Camera Control Tool Software is based on a main Tool Bar and a number of associated Tool 
Windows. Each button in the Tool Bar pops up a separate Tool Window when pressed. The layout 
of the program can be adjusted by arranging the windows the way it is preferred. The program 
will store this information and recreate this layout, when the program is restarted. All Camera 
Control Tools have a Communication Window and an About Window. The other window(s) contains 
camera control commands.  

8.1.1.

 

Camera Control Tool Bar  

This is a Camera Control Tool Bar and when the button of each widow, each control GUI can 
be initiated.  

  

 

  
  

  
  
 

 

8.2.

 

The About Window  

The about window contains a picture of 
the camera and information about the 
version of the program, Internet 
connection to JAI A/S and access to the 
help documents.  
 
The drop-down box labelled "Help File" 
will list all files which have the 
extension .pdf and that are found in 
the program (default) folder.                                      

 
It is possible to download updated 
operation manuals from the jai website: http://www.jai.com 
An updated manual can be saved in the folder address mentioned above and it will 
automatically be included in the list of help files.  
  
At the bottom of the windows (all windows but the Communication Window is a colored bar. 
The bar is green when the Camera Control Tool is connected to a camera and the camera is 
turned on.
