Programming Menus
The Main Programming Menu is the first one seen when entering programming
mode (store preset 94). Subsequent menus, called sub-menus are accessible from
this point. When in programming mode, a function is entered by pressing the AP
(autopan) key. To back out of that function without changes, press the AI (autoiris)
key. Instructions are available on the screen for almost all functions. Since many of
the menus available on the SurveyorVFT are similar, not all are shown here. Refer
to the Menu Flow Chart, at the end of this manual, for more details. For
convenience, press the L-SPD (lens speed) button to display a black background.
The selections available on this menu can be summarized as follows:
Pan/Tilt Controller — Allows the user to adjust the speed of the pan and tilt axes. Solving preset positions is
always done at full speed. This menu also controls the Zoom Scalable Pan/Tilt, Compass and Flip features.
Camera Controller — Permits user adjustment of the advanced video features available on the SurveyorVFT.
Alarm Handling — Configures the SurveyorVFT’s four alarm inputs.
Relay Driver — Adjusts and configures the relay output for control of external devices.
Source Titling — Programs and displays the various titles available to the SurveyorVFT.
NOTE: All titles are disabled from the factory and will not be displayed upon initial startup.
Preset/Tour Handling — Programs preset events into the camera dome. It also allows programming a series of
events or actions into a script called a Tour and Autotour.
Scheduler/Time of Day — The Scheduler provides a means of programming events to occur at specific times of
the day. The Time of Day feature allows programming of the time display format. It allows selection of daylight
saving time, 12/24-hour format and actual setting of the time and date.
Language — Programs language format for titles and menus. Language choices are English, Spanish, French
and Italian. The word “Language” will continuously change between the four translated words, Language, Idioma,
Langue and Lingua, to alert an operator that this prompt is related to changing the language. When selected, the
menus will immediately display the new language.
Install Defaults — Resets the SurveyorVFT to the factory default settings. All previously programmed titles and
settings are lost when this function is accessed, so keep a record of programmed settings. The main default
settings are listed in the Install Defaults section. Some default settings are camera dependent; those are not
listed.
Pan/Tilt Controller
The Pan/Tilt Controller menu allows adjustment of the mechanical parameters of
the camera. With the first two selections, Max. Manual Pan Speed and Max.
Manual Tilt Speed, the operator selects a maximum speed from a bar graph
display. The variable speed on the joystick will then range from zero at the center
position to the user defined maximum speed at full deflection. For 22X and 23X
cameras, pan is continuously variable from 0.1 to 360° per second (18X max. is
120º/sec), while the tilt range is from 0.2 to 150° per second (18X max is 90º/sec).
Note that the pan and tilt controls remain variable speed across the full range of
the joystick regardless of the maximum speed setting. This feature allows the user
to set the optimum speed for each individual camera. With the SurveyorVFT, the
operator is able to customize camera performance.
