Enterprise Edition

TEMA Enterprise Edition adds a set of new features to TEMA Camera Control, which are important for larger crash test facilities distinguished by:

• Pre-defined processes: Larger facilities often have well defined processes for carrying out operations.  Any product used must adapt to these procedures.
• Test planning systems. Systems to administrate test and resources are often used and any test program used should be able to communicate with this system.
• Subdivision of tasks: Different departments of a corporation can be responsible for exercising different parts of a test. For instance: Different departments for image capture, tracking and analysis.
• Data storage models: Data storage must often conform to certain regulations.
• High throughput of tests. A larger facility often means that several tests are run in one day.
• Repetitive tests: Often the same department makes the same types of tests repeatedly.

TEMA Enterprise Edition for Camera Control includes several features to handle these needs:

• Metadata reading function: TEMA Enterprise Edition has a metadata reading function to load pre-defined test information from an external test planning system. The participating camera views are defined together with the test parameters.
• Predefined file name patterns: The user can define default file names, including path, for all file types in TEMA.
• Dual file destination: Downloaded image sequences can be automatically stored in two different destinations, normally a local disk and a central file server.
• Camera view list: The user can specify a list of often-used camera views. The camera view settings will be stored together with the actual view. Also cameras can be automatically assigned when loading a predefined camera view.
• Image export performed by separate computer. Image export can put a high load on the computer. TEMA Enterprise Edition has functionality to run Image Export on a secondary computer, typically an image server.
• Additional functions in TEMA Enterprise Edition handle operations like automatic cleanup of old image data, creation of TED files, marking of exported files, password protected parameters and more.

System integration

Together with the software capability described above Image Systems can engineer the complete system of cabling, junction boxes, individual computers and the inter-computer communications.

The TEMA Enterprise Version can be customized at both ends of the process. The project meta-data can be imported from a test control database, as can the camera views and individual camera setup requirements. This gives the test engineer full control of the imaging parameters and reduces the possibility of setup errors. The image and data file output can be automated to feed directly into the network system.

Above is a system on a project where multiple cameras were controlled on two computers via Ethernet. Note that all cameras were synchronized using GPS-time.

Image Systems together with its partner IMC in USA did in this case perform the full installation and acceptance testing.
