1.1 Introduction
Overview
Projector Toolset is a software tool to set up, configure, manage and control Barco projectors.
The concept of this Projector Toolset software is modular. The basic package can be extended with sev­eral optional device plug-in modules, now and in the future available.
The Projector Toolset software works with configurations that can be loaded. Within a configuration, differ­ent snapshots can be taken. A snapshot represents a current state of a configuration and can be reloaded to return to this typical state. These terms will be used through the complete software.
Projector Toolset is a stand-alone application that runs on a Java Virtual Machine and that does not require extraservicestorun.
Several configurations can be controlled simultaneously. Even when the configurations are connected via different ways.
1.2 About a Configuration
What is a Configuration?
A Configuration is a collection of projectors with all their current settings, connected to a computer. A configuration can contain different settings, called snapshots, for all the projectors in the configuration.
1.3 About a Snapshot
What is a Snapshot?
A Snapshot is collection of settings of a configuration. Such a snapshot represents the current state of a configuration.
A snapshot can contain all settings or specific settings as input settings, lamp settings, layout settings or projector settings. When restoring a snapshot, only the stored settings will be restored. The others remain on their current value.
1.4 About storing Configurations and Snapshots
Overview
All information is stored by default in the install directory of Projector Toolset in the subdirectory Workspace.
R5976924 PROJECTOR TOOLSET 16/04/2009

1. Basic concepts
Configurations are directly under the subdirectory Workspace and have the extension .config. Snapshots are stored in a subdirectory of Workspace, called Snapshots.Thefiles have the extension .snapshot .
This structure makes it possible to zip the workspace and send it the another computer for further use.
Tomakeabackupofallyourconfigurations and snapshots, just make a copy of Workspace with all its content.
