Multiple jobs can be loaded to the camera. You can switch between the jobs without having to download each time. A number of features allow you to manipulate the jobs and retrieve information about the loaded jobs.
You can manipulate Job Changeover functionality in AutoVISION's Connect view, with the pop-up menu that appears when you click the flash memory icon on the file menu toolbar, and with the pop-up menu in the Run view.
When you select a camera that supports Job Changeover, the jobs are shown under the Upload Current Job from Device button in the device view.
Precautions for Correct Use: Job sizes are not shown until you click this icon:
From this view you can see the following information about the job:
Slot ID
Job Name (.avp name)
Size of the job
Memory available on the camera
Which job is the Boot Job
Which job is the Current Job (highlighted in orange)
Size represents the amount of memory that would be saved if the job were deleted from the camera. The jobs share support files, so when there are two jobs using the same support files the second one deleted will make more memory available.
You can make a job the current job by selecting it and clicking the Make Current button. You can also delete jobs from the camera by selecting a job and clicking the Delete Slot button. AutoVISION will warn you if you try to delete the current job, and will automatically reassign the new first job in the list to current.
The pop-up menu that appears when you click the flash memory icon allows you to see all jobs currently on the camera. You can then flash the job that is in the camera's RAM or loaded on the computer by selecting a job to overwrite or by selecting New Slot.
When you select a slot (or New Slot), you will see the Flash a Job dialog shown below. This allows you either to flash the job from the PC or the job from the camera.
If you select New Slot from the menu shown above, AutoVISION will search for an open slot or the next corresponding job slot and insert the job in that slot. After the job is flashed it will start running and AutoVISION will switch to the Run view if you have checked “Go to Run view after flashing the job”.
You can switch between jobs in AutoVISION's Connect or Run views. Click the job switch icon in the Run view to use the dropdown menu shown below.
If a username and password have been defined for the camera, the Login dialog will appear.
Precautions for Correct Use: The username and password are blank by default.
Precautions for Correct Use: AutoVISION is not able to edit jobs that have been manipulated in FrontRunner. Switching jobs between AutoVISION and FrontRunner is not recommended.
