User manual

to be provided to connected clients - this doesn’t effect cameras,
however it can help when users are manually connecting to the
server.
• The Prefix section allows you to enable a simple renaming mechanism
to replace the first four characters of image file names. In addition to
static strings, this field also accepts the variables used above so it can
be used to add specific information directly to the filename. This is an
advanced option and should generally be left in its default configuration
unless you have a specific need.
• The ’Actions...’ button (only available in the Professional edition)
allows you to configure automated tasks to be performed as images are
received. This system allows you to use scripts like Photoshop droplets
to process images immediately upon reception - thus allowing repetitive
tasks to be handled automatically. When used effectively, users will be
ready to process images the moment they get back to the workstation.
Actions will be covered in detail in chapter 4.6, so if you are interested
in this functionality please take a look at that information.
When you have made the desired changes, simply click the Save button
and they will instantly be committed. Any user logging into the server with
the provided credentials will use the new settings right away, so you do not
have to take any further actions. If you have made a mistake, clicking the
Reset button will return all settings to their defaults. After all desired
changes are made, simply close the window and you can return to using the
server.
3.2 Configure Camera
The configure camera dialog (discussed above) allows full control over the
generation of camera configuration files. Unlike the control centre interface
this dialog allows access to all available settings - this makes it more flexible,
but also more complicated to use. Due to the number of fields present in
this dialog, this manual cannot cover all of the available options - if you are
interested in what any of them mean, please hover your mouse over the field
and detailed help messages will be provided. The general controls in the
dialog are covered in the following paragraphs.
