showing the first PIXCI frame buffer, creates an Adjust window with commonly used video capture adjustments, and creates a
Shortcuts Toolbar for accessing the most commonly needed features.
The following windows are now active:
The Main Window, which has options for reconfiguring the PIXCI imaging board, and features independent of the PIXCI
imaging board, such as loading images into image buffers unrelated to video capture hardware.
1.
The PIXCI® Image Viewer window, from which the PIXCI® frame buffers are captured, viewed, examined, processed,
measured, and saved, with a status bar below the image where cursor coordinates and other information is displayed.
2.
The PIXCI® Shortcut Toolbar, with shortcuts for the most commonly needed features relating to the PIXCI® imaging
board and its frame buffers.
3.
An Adjust window, with commonly used video capture adjustments.
4.
If XCAP has already been installed, it may have been configured with one or more variations, such as, (a) Eliminate the Main
Window, automatically opening and displaying the PIXCI® Image Viewer, (b) Configure the Shortcuts and/or Adjust features to
be attached to the The PIXCI® Image Viewer window, rather than detached into their own windows, (c) Select whether the
Shortcuts and/or Adjust features appear automatically, or only when
Capture
Adjustments
or
Capture
Shortcuts
are clicked, or (d) Remove the status bar, increasing the screen area available for image display. These variations allow custom
configuration of XCAP, but don't affect the functionality of the Shortcuts or Adjustments features.
