XX134-44-02 Rev 710 SurveyorVFT Camera Dome Programming Introduction • 1
Introduction
This manual details the programming features of the SurveyorVFT®. This manual is intended to be used in
conjunction the SurveyorVFT Installation and Operation manual. Programming can be performed with a keypad
input device or a compatible personal computer equipped with the Vicon
®
SurveyorVFT Direct Control software.
All functions programmed into the SurveyorVFT stay resident in the Dome Assembly and do not occupy any
external CPU memory.
SurveyorVFT is designed to be programmed using RS-422/485, enhanced VicoaxII (superimposed data on
composite video signal) type protocol, fiber optic or ViconNet
®
LAN. The V1500X-SCCS System Controller,
V1411X-DVC, V1410X-DVC, V1411J-DVC operator keypads, and a Pilot/NOVA™ (VPS) control system are all
input devices using the RS-422/485 format. The V1522 (in enhanced Vicoax™II mode) is an input device using
enhanced VicoaxII format. Additionally, the SurveyorVFT can support competitive RS-422/RS-485
Communication Protocols. Refer to the manuals from those manufacturers for information. Refer to the XX134
SurveyorVFT Installation and Operation Manual for details on configuration and operation.
This manual describes using an input device and the SurveyorVFT’s on-screen menu system. This method uses
specific key functions that are actual buttons or screen selections on these input devices. When using a personal
computer with the Surveyor-Mini Direct Control software to program and operate the SurveyorVFT, refer to the
manual for Surveyor Direct Control for installation and operation instructions.
Programming is done by selecting options from the on-screen menu system. Once the on-screen menu system is
accessed, programming is done using the AP (autopan), AI (autoiris), joystick and AUX1/AUX2 functions. The
cursor wraps around when moving up and down. The following is a description of these controls:
AP: select and store parameters; go forward through the menu system.
AI: leave or exit a menu without retaining the new setting.
Joystick Left/Right: select specific program parameters.
AUX 1, AUX 2and AUX 3: used for very specific menu functions detailed in the menu system.
Six functions are carried out using only keypad controls. These functions are setting autopan limits, programming
continuous rotation, selecting the autopan speed, programming sectors, polarity of response lines, enabling auto-
baud detect and setting manual pan limits.
There are four camera types available, each with NTSC and PAL versions. The basic model is a 22X high-
resolution camera/lens. Another 22X model is available with ExView
®
CCD technology (22XEX). The third version
is a 23X day/night camera/lens. The fourth model is a 35X day/night camera/lens featuring image stabilization. All
four versions have many of the same features, although some models have unique features that will be
mentioned specifically in the manual.
