Creating Measurement Items:
To create a measurement box or spot, it is first necessary to have
control of the camera (refer to
Camera Control and Status, pg. 2-5
).
To add a Measurement Item, select the appropriate
icon below the image, and select
SCREEN
from
the pull-down option list (the GEO option is used
only with pan/tilt cameras), then click
Accept
. The
box or spot will be added in the center of the image.
Click and drag the box or spot within the image to
move it to the desired location. To change the size
or shape of a box, click on the box in the image to
select it (or click on the name in the Measurement
Items list in the upper right of the page), and then
click and drag one of the vertices (circles in the
corners of the box). The specific settings of the
measurement spot or box, including Alarm
conditions, are configured in the Properties box to
the right of the page and described below, refer to
Measurement Item Properties
.
The measurement data will appear on the left side of the video. If it is preferable to not see the text
data on the screen, refer to
On Screen Display (OSD), pg. 3-21
. If an alarm condition has been set,
the alarm will continue to function even if the OSD temperature data is not displayed on the screen.
Select the Measurement Item to view or edit it’s Properties. The name of an
Item may be changed to indicate specific information about its location or
purpose. The new name will appear in the OSD information, but only the item
number will be used by the Alarm Manager when configuring an alarm
response rule. Refer to the
Alarm Manager, pg. 3-23
.
The following sections describe the setup parameters which can be edited. Scroll down and click
Save
after changing any Measurement Item parameters.
