RC-E User Manual
Management Client (RC-E Manager)
Fill in Properties on the Info Tab
Lets you view and edit basic information about an output:
Name:
Name of the output. Not compulsory, but highly recommended. Used whenever the output is listed in RC-
E and clients. Does not have to be unique.
To change the name, overwrite the existing name and click
Save
in the toolbar (see "Management Client
Overview" on page 34).
Tip:
If you change the name, it will be updated throughout RC-E. This means that if the name is used in, for
example, a rule, the name will automatically change in the rule as well.
Description:
Description of the output. Not compulsory. Will appear in a number of listings within RC-E. For
example, the description will appear when pausing the mouse pointer over the item's name in the Overview pane
(see "Panes Overview" on page 36):
To specify a description, type the description and click
Save
in the toolbar (see "Management Client
Overview" on page 34).
Hardware name:
Name of the hardware with which the output unit is connected. The field is non-editable from
here, but can be changed by clicking
Go To
next to it. This takes you to hardware information, where the name is
editable.
Unit number:
Non-editable field, displaying the unit on which the output can be found on the hardware. For
hardware capable of having more than one output unit attached, the unit number will typically indicate the number
of the output port to which the output is attached. For hardware with, for example, four output ports, the numbers
will typically range from
0
to
3
.
Fill in Properties on the Settings Tab
Lets you verify or edit key output settings, such as active output state, output trigger time, etc., for a selected output,
or for all outputs within a selected device group. However, if the device group contains 400 cameras or more the
Settings
tab will not be available for viewing and editing because changing settings for so many devices in one step
takes too long time.
The content of the
Settings
tab is determined entirely by the drivers for the cameras in question, and is thus likely to
vary depending on the output selected.
Some devices are only able to apply outputs for a relatively short time, for example max. 5 seconds. Refer to the
documentation for the device in question for exact information.
Content is displayed in a table, in which the first column lists the available settings, and the second column lists the
value of each setting.
You are typically able to change the values:
1. Select the row with the property you want to change
2. Click the button to the right of the properties column.
3. Change the value of the property.
4. In the toolbar (see "Management Client Overview" on page 34), click
Save
.
When you have changed a setting to a non-default value, the value will appear in
bold
. When a value must be within
a certain range, for example between 0 and 100, the allowed range will be displayed in the grey information box below
the settings table.
