Device Core Parameter Lists

Finding Device Core Parameter Lists

There are four ways to access the parameter list for your devices. 

Configuration Page Inspector

When editing a parameter from the Inspector on the Configuration page, you can access the parameter list.

If there was not a parameter previously selected for that HWC, then you will need to select which device will be controlled. 

If you select to control a single device, when clicking 'Parameter List' you will be directed to the parameter list for that specific model of device.

If you select to control the device core (prefered when control multiple of same type of device), when clicking 'Parameter List' you will be directed to the parameter list for the the entire device core and all models within.

 

Device Details

Click the name of the device you want to know about, to access this popop.

Then click on 'Parameter List'

This will then open the web link to the full parameter list only for that specific model device.

 

Device Core Details

Click the title above a device you want to know about, to access this popop.

Then click on 'Parameter List'

This will then open the web link to the full parameter list for that device core and all supported models within. 

Devices.Skaarhoj.com

All devices we integrate with can be searched on our web page devices.skaarhoj.com 

 Clicking on 'Supported Parameter List' from the main page will then open the web link to the full parameter list only for that specific model device. ind param.png

Clicking into the device for additional information will give you two options. Clicking on specific device name will then open the web link to the full parameter list only for that specific model device.

Parameter List- How To Read

The Parameter List gives a detailed breakdown of all of the supported parameters and the values available within.

The parameter list generated per device core, which is the controlling firmware package for the device's remote protocol. Multiple devices can be controlled by the same device core. 

Find out how to access the parameter list per device core or per device here: https://wiki.skaarhoj.com/books/blue-pill-reactor/page/finding-device-core-parameter-lists

At the top of the Parameter List page is listed details about the core overall. Here you find the Core Name, Firmware Version used for the list (will be the most recent), development status of the list, general description of the core, and number of parameters available (each contained model can have different amounts).

Looking at the individually controlled devices there is more information on each one. Here you find the model name of the device, the internally used model number, a brief description of the unit, and the development status for that specific model. 

The development status for a specific model may differ from the device core's overall development status. 
See further in this article for a breakdown of development status descriptions.

Looking at the individually supported parameters there is the easy to read parameter name, general description of the parameter, and the internal parameter command name. param.png

Looking at the individually supported parameter details can give a lot of information about how we have control. 

Control: The value range available 

Feedback: What information we receive back from the camera 

Dimensions: Sub parameters available, each with their own feedback and control

--- : Additional information

The main part of the Parameter List is broken up in a grid fashion, with the parameters creating the the rows and the devices forming the columns. For ease of reading, the rows are broken up into categories.

Looking at the parameters, in the below example Audio Gain is supported by all three models of cameras and with the same value ranges and feedback. However, Audio Source, while still supported by all three models has a different value range for Komodo then for Komodo-X and V-Raptor.  supported.png

When you see the below symbol, that parameter is not supported by the model of device.

Development Status

Each device core and individual device has a stated development status. Here you can see a description of all of the statuses. 

CONCEPT, Early development

BETA

RELEASED

MATURE

CSV export

On Blue Pill devices, it is also possible to export a CSV file of all the parameters. To do this, add 'csv' in front of the corename in the url, such as:
http://192.168.11.97/coremanual/csv/core-bmd-atem

This file can then be opened and sorted in Excel or Google Sheets.
