Editing a Pattern
Editing a pattern refers to saving a pattern to a pattern number that is already assigned. For instructions on saving a pattern to an unassigned
pattern number, refer to Creating a Pattern.
To edit a pattern for an ASCII camera, you must belong to, and log in under, a user group that allows you to edit the patterns for that camera. When
you edit a pattern, the changes you make affect other users with permission to access the pattern.
The Record option used to edit a pattern saves the camera movement, pattern name, and script tag, replacing the previously defined camera
movement, pattern name, and script tag. To assign a name and script tag while retaining the existing camera movement, use the Rename option
described in Renaming a Pattern.
To edit a pattern:
1. Open the Device Control dialog box for the desired camera and go to the Patterns tab.
2. Click the desired pattern in the list and then click Record. The Edit Pattern Properties dialog box opens.
