Re: Saving Camera Exposure and White Balance Holds after Restart?

We are working in C++.

The API provides two functions:

Code:
void AxisCamera::writeExposureControl  ( ExposureT  exposureControl  )   

Parameters:
 valid  values are automatic, hold, flickerfree50, flickerfree60  

void AxisCamera::writeWhiteBalance  ( WhiteBalanceT  whiteBalance  )   

Parameters:
 valid  values automatic, hold, fixed_outdoor1, fixed_outdoor2, fixed_indoor,fixed_flour1, fixed_flour2
When setting both of these to HOLD in code, the camera appears to still stay in AUTOMATIC. Upon immediately logging in to the camera's web interface, it confirms that the camera is still in AUTOMATIC mode.

Furthermore, there doesn't seem to be a way to programmatically "set" an exposure or white balance level, either through the API or web interface.

For those using LabVIEW, can you verify that you can change the exposure and white balance settings to HOLD, and confirm that they actually changed through the camera's web interface?
