Description: Connects to IP enabled Video camera filling the web browser window (VIEW) or local ViewDAQ window. Optionally open a new window using target name.
Syntax:
Tcl: GOTODAQ URL=vdo:cameratype#ip=address&options^target
JScript: GOTODAQ ("URL=vdo:cameratype#ip=address&options^target");
VB Script: GOTODAQ "URL=vdo:cameratype#ip=address&options^target"
Arguments: Cameratype is named after the
WebAccess camera Driver (see 17.1 Configure a
Video Camera connection).
Address is an IP address, URL or network name.
Options include paths to CGI scripts and port numbers.
Target gives a name for a new web browser window. If used in
ViewDAQ, will open IE web browser window. For information on the
^target option see
GOTODAQ URL http.
Returns: none
See Also: GOTODAQ URL=webctrl:, <GOTO>URL=daq:,<GOTO>VIDEO=, <SENDVDO>, <DIALOG>VIDEO
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.
