DCx Cameras
In the drop down box, you can choose the language for the uc480 Camera Manager. This
setting is saved and remains effective even after you close and reopen the program.
For proper display of Asian languages on Windows systems, the support package for East Asian languages has
to be installed on your system (in "Control Panel > Regional and Language Options").
Click to close the application; any settings you have made are saved.
The status box at the bottom indicates the current status of the selected camera. If it is available, the status
message is shown in black. Otherwise, the status message is shown in red.
If an error has occurred in a camera, a black exclamation mark on a yellow background is shown next the
camera. The status box then indicates the cause of the error and suggests remedies.
3.4.1.1 Camera List
When a camera is activated (switched on or connected to the PC), it appears in the camera list of the uc480
Camera Manager after a few seconds.
The data shown in the camera list can be sorted in ascending or descending order by left-clicking on the respective
column header.
Free/Avail.
