Camera Control Tool for CM-040MCL / CB-040MCL
The Camera Control Tool for Windows 2000/XP/Vista 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 Tool 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/Vista. 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.
8.2. Camera Control Tool Bar
This is a Camera Control Tool Bar and when the button of each window is clicked, each
control GUI can be initiated.
8.3. 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:
