Node Parameters
Status: Shows if Configurator is busy running an Autoalignment or Blacklevel compensation If status is Ready an autoalignment can be started. Start Autoalignment: Starts the Autoalignment Process with the parameters set in the node. Start Blacklevel Compensation: Starts the Blacklevel calibration using the parameters set in the selected XML file. XML Path: Defines the Calibrator file to use for the Calibration. Calculate new Blending: Calculates a new blending with every Autoalignment, only needed when using Blendmasks. (default off) Take new Pictures: If disabled, the calibration will be performed with the Images of the last calibration instead of taking new ones. (default on) Projectors/Cameras: Displays the amount of Projectors/Cameras defined in the XML file Expand: Channels to Calibrate: Shows what channels (video outputs) should be calibrated through this Patch. Calibrator Path: Defines where the Calibrator EXE is found to start the program. Meshfiles: Shows where the Mapping files for warping are stored. (set though XML) Blendfiles: Shows where the Blendfiles are stored. (set though XML) Store as Initial: Saves the current Mesh and Blendfiles in the Initial folder. Revert to Initial: Loads the Mesh and Blendfiles from the Initial folder. Store as Backup*: Saves the current Mesh and Blendfiles in the Backup folder Revert to Backup: Loads the Mesh and Blendfiles from the Backup folder.

Input 1: Start Alignment [Bang]

Input 2: Start Blacklevel [Bang]

Input 3: Cancel [Bang]

Input 4: Restore Alignment (0=latest) [Int]

Input 5: Restore Blacklevel (0=latest) [Int]

1-Command[String]: Allows control of the Patch through a bunch of commands listed below.

2-Calibrator Path[String]: Defines the Directory the Calibrator.exe will be executed.

3-Config Path[String]: Defines what Config file to use for the Calibrations.

3-Update Paths[Bang]: Reads selected Config file and updates Projectors, Cameras,Meshfiles and Blendfile paths.

4-Channels to Calibrate[Pack]: Defines what Channels to Calibrate, an empty Pack defaults to all.

5-Calculate Blending[Int]: Defines whether or not to recalculate the Blending.

6-Take new Pictures[Int]: Defines whether or not to take new Pictures for the calibration,or use the ones from the last one.

7-Open Configurator[Bang]: Opens up configurator with the defined options of the Patch,but will not start any Calibration process.

8-Start Autoalignment[Bang]: Starts the Autoalignment process,make sure the Lights in the Venue are off and there is nobody walking through it.

9-Stop Autoalignment[Bang]: Stops the Calibrator Software, may result in a half done Alignment.

10-Start Blacklevel compensation: Starts the Blacklevel compensation process,this will take much longer that the Autoalignment and absolute darkness throughoutthe Process is crucial for a good result. This only needs to be done if you see major errorswhen displaying dark scenes even with correct projector alignment.If you are not sure if you should start the process, please contact Brainsalt support via.www.brainsalt.com

Output 1: Status [String]
