7.3 Appendix C. VidClient User’s Guide
Before launching VidClient, you may need to configure the "client.prf" file.
The format of the "client.prf" file is as follows (default value in brackets):
line 1: COM port name for communication with infra-red motion detector (COM1)
line 2: COM port baud rate for infra-red motion detector (9600)
line 3: COM port name for communication with projector (COM2)
line 4: COM port baud rate for projector (9600)
line 5: TCP/IP port number to connect to VidServer on (2000)
line 6: absolute or application-relative path to "up link" script (upscript.bat)
line 7: absolute or application-relative path to "down link" script (downscript.bat)
The file must be called "client.prf" and located in the same directory as VidClient.
After launching VidClient, you will be presented with a dialog asking you to enter the
host name of the server you wish to connect to. This could be "localhost" if
VidServer and VidClient are running on the same machine. After entering the host name,
press the OK button.
You will then be presented with a window containing a list. Each line in the list
represents a different event. Recent events are shown at the top of the list. At this
point, VidClient is able to send, receive and handle connections from VidServer.
VidClient will display events in its list notifying you when the "up script" and
"down script" are being run.
When you have finished using VidClient, choose "Exit" from the "File" menu. This
will quit VidClient and close any open TCP/IP connections.
