This GOTO URL=vdo command uses the camera driver name (Cameratype): a camera does not have to be configured elsewhere. The GOTO URL=daq:vdo requires a camera to be configured in 17.1 Configure a Video Camera connection and uses the user assigned name for that camera.

Will open an IE browser regardless of default browser on PC (always opens Internet Explorer). IE 6.0 or later must be installed on client PC. This is supported by Browser based clients (VIEW) and the local ViewDAQ. In ViewDAQ, this will open VIEW in a web browser. Project and Node must be specified if new target window named.
