Process Purpose

The Set Parameters process is used to set the parameters of the device’s photo camera.

When you add a process, you are required to define its settings. This occurs in the process's properties window which is displayed automatically after having added the Set Parameters process.

If any subsequent edition is required, double-click the process to open its properties window and enter the necessary modifications.

Fill in the following options:

Image
Resolution	Select the desired resolution for the image from the drop down list or click and select a variable with that value. See Variable Definition.
Extension	Select the desired image file “extension” ("JPEG” or “PNG”)from the drop-down list or click and select a variable with that value.
Quality Output	Only enabled if the selected “Extension” is “JPEG”. Select the desired “Quality Output” (“1”, “2” or “3”) from the drop-down list or click and select a variable with that value. This setting is device dependent, some devices have better “JPEG” quality when set to “1” and others when set to “3”.

Auto-Focus	Check this option to use the Auto-Focus parameter of the device's photo camera.
