Procedure

Select the procedure to be used as Main procedure from the dropdown list. The description of the procedure is displayed in the Description textbox provided the procedure contains a description.

With the procedure, all configured iconic input, control input, iconic output and control output variables associated with the procedure will be loaded. The variables are displayed in their respective tabs.

• ibaCapture input

The dropdown list under ibaCapture video input lists all configured Video input modules. Select the desired module.

• Iconic output

If necessary, an initial value can be configured for the variable. This will be the case, e.g. when the iconic output from the Main procedure is used in the Main procedure as iconic input. An initial value is not necessary, when the iconic output from the Initialization procedure is used in the Main procedure as iconic input.
