The

Program Setup

shows information about the installed XCAP components, such as their revision level, and sets various

configuration options. For versions of XCAP which require an authorization key, it also shows the ID of the key required by the
instant copy of XCAP.

The

Program Setup

allows specifying the name of a script to be executed when XCAP starts, whether warning pop-up windows (if

any) are to be shown, whether previously saved settings are to be loaded, and other similar initial or terminal conditions.

The

Program Setup

also enables user-defined translation of XCAP labels and messages for use in non-English speaking countries.

The XCAP-Lite version does not support creating user-defined translated labels and messages, but may use translated labels and
messages previously created with XCAP.

The

Windows Info

displays information about the current Windows environment, such as memory usage and the S/VGA display

adapter's features, as reported by Windows. The

Java Info

displays information about the status of Java, under which XCAP runs.

Both of these features are primarily of use in resolving questions submitted to EPIX, Inc. Technical Support.

The

Window Style

allows setting some characteristics of XCAP windows, such as color or character size and font. Some

characteristics of window style are instead controlled by the Windows Control Panel.

The

Audio Clip

allows recording and playing short audio ''clips''.

The

RS-232 Control

allows ''raw'' communication with a camera or other device connected via the computer's RS-232 port. The

RS-232 Control

is designed specifically for device control, including options to communicate with byte values, rather than as a

common ''terminal emulator''. XCAP may also provide more convenient, camera-specific ''smart'' controls, provided after a
camera-specific imaging board is opened, via the

Capture - Adjustments

The

I/O Port Peek & Poke

allows controlling arbitrary devices accessible via I/O port peeks and pokes. This feature must be used

with caution; peeking or poking arbitrary ports will cause computer malfunction! This feature is not available under Windows NT.

The

Screen Capture

allows capturing the current S/VGA screen graphics, saving the graphics to a file, or printing the graphics. The

Screen Capture

also allows capturing numeric and textual parameters into a text file, suitable for loading into a spreadsheet or

other programs. The XCAP-Lite version does not support screen capture.

The

Volpi intralux dc-1100

and

Illumination Technologies 3900

provide support for controlling these light sources through their RS-232

ports.

5.1.5. Main Window - PIXCI®

The main window's

PIXCI®

allows initiating access to the PIXCI imaging board and provides configuration options. Actual

operation of the PIXCI imaging board is performed through the PIXCI image viewer window's menu-bar.

The

PIXCI® Open/Close

allows opening access to, or closing access to, the PIXCI imaging board. Once open, the model (and

submodel, as appropriate) of the PIXCI imaging board is available via the

Board Info

button. After opening, the contents of the

PIXCI image board's frame buffer(s) are displayed in

The Image Viewer Window

, along with a tool bar of

PIXCI® Image Viewer

- Capture - Shortcuts

and a status bar of

PIXCI® Image Viewer - View - Status Bar

are shown as described below.

The

PIXCI® Video Setup

allows configuring the video format, video resolution and other, model specific, video characteristics. For

example, for PIXCI SV2, SV3, SV4, and SV5 models, the

PIXCI® Video Setup

allows selecting NTSC, RS-170, S-VIDEO, CCIR, or

PAL, allows selecting the video window size and capture resolution, and selecting other video acquisition characteristics. For
other models, such as the PIXCI® D, fewer options may be provided, as the PIXCI® D models are camera specific.

The current video setup is automatically saved when access to the PIXCI imaging board is closed, and reloaded when the PIXCI
image board is later opened. The

PIXCI® Save Video Setup

and

PIXCI® Load Video Setup

may be used to explicitly save or reload the

current video setup, such as to choose amongst several favorite setups, or to export the current video setup to the XCIP program
or the XCOBJ library.

The

PIXCI® Status

shows the PIXCI imaging board's current status, such as the state of the TTL trigger input(s) and output(s), the

number of elapsed video fields, the board's model and submodel, and configured image memory size.

The

PIXCI® Serial Peek & Poke

allows ''raw'' communication with a camera connected to the serial port on selected models of the

PIXCI® imaging board. XCAP may also provide more convenient, camera-specific ''smart'' controls, provided after a camera-
specific imaging board is opened, via the

Capture - Adjustments

The

PIXCI® Connections

provides, as appropriate for the specific model of PIXCI imaging board, a map of the board's connections,

connectors, option jumpers, and adjustments.

The

PIXCI® Camera Info

provides a list of cameras and video formats supported by XCAP and various PIXCI® imaging boards.

The

PIXCI® Camera Info

also allows viewing a non-operational
