Examination Techniques Manual Transmittal.February 26, 2016.Purpose 1 This transmits revised IRM 4.Examination of Returns, Examination Techniques.PROCEDURE LIFECYCLE COST ANALYSIS S MANUAL State of California Department of Transportation Division of Maintenance Pavement Program.The terms defined on this page have all appeared in past CPA exam questions, so they are worth knowing if you are studying for the auditing exam.There is no need to.Timelapse VIEW Documentation.Timelapse VIEWWelcomeThis is the official documentation for the VIEW Intervalometer by Timelapse.You can scroll through the entire document or click on the links on the left to jump to a specific section.After writing out the requirements and collecting all the necessary data, the next step in the process was to draw up a flowchart based on my requirements.WSHuVR39VAU/Tm9UCLc5izI/AAAAAAAAAKQ/Uo6vctXZhwA/s1600/MigrationProcessFlowDiagram.png' alt='Flowchart Manual Input Vs Manual Operation Flowchart' title='Flowchart Manual Input Vs Manual Operation Flowchart' />If you find errors or if parts are confusing, contact me via http www.VIEW documentation.Flowchart Manual Input Vs Manual Operation Flowchart' title='Flowchart Manual Input Vs Manual Operation Flowchart' />This document is formatted for printing, and can be printed as a PDF for a portable copy.Overview and Operation.Power and Buttons.Power On. To power on the VIEW, press and hold the Power button 1 for 2 seconds.In a few seconds the button will illuminate red, indicating that its booting. Sony Home Theater Update Incomplete Fracture there. The VIEW logo will appear on the screen shortly thereafter.Flowchart Manual Input Vs Manual Operation Flowchart' title='Flowchart Manual Input Vs Manual Operation Flowchart' />Power Off.To power off the VIEW, press and hold the Power button 1 for 2 seconds.A confirmation prompt will appear on the screen.Turn the knob to select Yes and.Enter button 5 to power off.If the VIEW is not responsive, it can be forced off by pressing holding the Power button 1 for 1.It can then be booted normally by pressing the Power button again for 2 seconds.Operation. The user interface for the VIEW is a menu based system designed to be simple to operate outdoors and with gloves.For that reason, theres no touchscreen, but rather simple buttons and a knob for scrolling through options.Use the knob to scroll up and down through the menus.To select open or select the highlighted menu item, press the knob or the Enter button 5.To go back or cancel, press the Cancel button 4.Some screens use the Context 6 button for additional options indicated on the screen.Every menu item has an accompanying help screen press the Power button 1 to activated for the current selection.Power the Power button 1 or the Cancel button 4 to exit the help screen.Gesture Sensor. The Gesture Sensor 2 while a time lapse is running and the screen goes blank.Wave your hand across the front to activate, then wave to the right to preview the currentlast time lapse, or to the left to cancel.While the preview is playing, wave to the right to skip ahead 1.Ports and Connections.Charging. To charge the VIEW, connect a Micro B USB cable from a USB power supply USB charger, battery pack or computer to the charging port 1.VIEW. When connected the Charge Indicator 1.This light can be disabled in Settings Charge Indicator.Note that the battery indicator in the VIEW will prematurely show a low battery, and if charging a completely dead battery, it can take some time before progress becomes visible.Auxiliary Ports. The VIEW includes two 2.TRS auxiliary ports 9, 1.Currently only AUX2 is used by the firmware.It will send a pulse to trigger motion systems to move after each shot during a time lapse no setup necessary for this, or it can be used as an external trigger for the interval when the time lapse interval is set to External.SD Card. The SD card slot 8 provides a convenient way to get data from the VIEW.The VIEW can also save the RAW time lapse images to the SD card this is the most convenient way for post processing, since each time lapse is named sequentially in its own folder along with the XMP files for automatic deflickering in Lightroom.The VIEW supports all current SD card types and capacities, but internally it uses a Class 1.UHS II cards will not offer a speed improvement over a Class 1.Cards can be formatted with the camera or on a computer as FATEXFAT MSDOS.USB Host. The VIEW includes a full size USB host port 1.This port also supports USB hubs for connecting multiple devices right now it can also communicate with the DP NMX via USB, and multiple camera support is planned for the future.Hooking up the camera.Hotshoe Mount. The VIEW can be conveniently connected to the top of the camera by sliding it on the cameras hotshoe.This also provides PC sync feedback for bulb ramping without requiring an additional cable, however, the current exposure ramping mode does not use this, so you can mount the VIEW anywhere without affecting the performance.USB Connection. Connect the appropriate USB cable for your camera from the Host Port 1.USB port. Its best to have the camera powered on before connecting, as there seems to be an occasional timing issue causing the camera to not properly connect if powered on while connected.If the camera doesnt seem to connect, unplug the USB and reconnect.Sony cameras can be quite flaky if youre having trouble, try removing the battery from the camera, powering it back on, and then plugging in the USB to the VIEW again.Some cameras need to be set to PC Connect or PTP Mode in order for USB to function properly.Also, some Canon cameras with Wi.Fi like the 6. D require Wi.Fi to be disabled for USB control to work.Only the USB cable is needed for full ramping support.No other connections are necessary.Time lapse Setup.Start by connecting the camera via USB as described in the previous section.This will enable the Time lapse menu the first item on the main screen.Press the knob or enter button to select.Youll then see the options listed in this section.IMPORTANT the camera must be in manual mode, set to capture in RAW not RAWJPEGQuick Setup for the first test.For your first automatic ramping test, I recommend to start with the following configuration Setting.Recommended Value.Exposure. Just setup the camera for the current scene before hand and skip this step.Timelapse Mode. Auto Ramping.Interval Mode. Auto Variable.Day Interval. 8 seconds.Night Interval. 40 Seconds.Destination. SD Card you have to first put an SD card in the VIEW1.I recommend starting an hour before sunset, setting the camera at the lowest ISO, a moderately wide aperture f2.Make sure its not overexposed Then, let it run at least 3 hours after sunset to get a good length and transition.Or, if you have external power for the camera, go all night until sunrise Some cameras perform better with the Destination set to camera.This is only recommended for the first test for the convenience of post processing.Time lapse options are described below.Exposure. Puts the camera in liveview mode for adjusting the exposure and focus.Turn the knob to increasedecrease exposure.Press the enter button to toggle focus mode.When in focus mode, the liveview image will be cropped to 1.NOTE the Exposure feature may not work well on all cameras.If you have any trouble with it, simply adjust the exposure and focus on the camera before connecting the VIEW.Whether setup via the Exposure menu or in camera, the starting exposure for ramping is very important as it is used for a reference throughout the time lapse.Make sure it is not over exposed, as excessive clipped overexposed highlights regions of the image can cause the exposure ramping to be inaccurate.Timelapse Mode. Option.Description. Fixed.This is for a basic time lapse where the exposure and interval are constant throughout.Auto Ramping. In this mode the VIEW will automatically adjust the exposure to match changing light conditions.For short time lapse clips during the day or night where the exposure and interval are constant, choose Fixed.For sunsets, sunrises, day to night, night to day, and day to night to day, choose Auto Ramping.This will also enable the Auto Interval options for interval ramping between day and night.Primary Camera. This option is only shown when more than one camera is connected to the VIEW.The primary camera selection defines the camera used for setup and liveview, the status thumbnail, and the exposure tracking.The settings from the primary camera are copied to all additional cameras connected, and they are triggered in sync.This is nice for panoramas, as well as a wide view and a telephoto view for post processing transitions.In the case of wide and telephoto, make the wide view the primary for better exposure tracking.Interval Mode. This option is only shown when Timelapse Mode is set to Auto RampingOption.Description. Fixed Length.This maintains the same interval through out the time lapse and will limit the maximum shutter speed to fit within it.Auto Variable. This mode will automatically ramp between a Day Interval and a Night Interval and allows for longer shutter speeds at night.Interval. This option is only shown when Timelapse Mode is set to Fixed or Interval Mode is set to FixedOption.Descriptiontime in secondsInterval length in seconds.This is the time between the start of one frame to the start of the next.RIP, Microsoft Paint.MS Paint, the first app you used for editing images, will probably be killed off in future updates of Windows 1.Paint 3. D. Microsoft lists the 3.Windows 1. 0s next autumn update, a little X marking the end of an era.The app is certainly a relic, from a time when the casual computer user couldnt crack open Photoshop or Skitch or Pixelmator or thousands of web apps.MS Paint cant save image components as layers or vectors its for making flat static images only.It doesnt smooth lines or guess at your best intentions.It does what you tell it and nothing more, faithfully representing the herky jerky motion of drawing freehand with a computer mouse.Its from a time before touch, a time before trackpads.As more sophisticated options appeared, Paints janky aesthetic became a conscious choice.Paint became the metonym for that aesthetic, even if an image was actually created in another app.TV Tropes lists major limitations that came to define a certain look the wobbly freehand lines, awkward color handling, and inappropriate export settings that give Paint its distinctive look.In 2. 01. 4, Gawkers Sam Biddle noted Paints influence on conspiracy theory images, calling the form Chart Brut.In amateur detectives attempts at identifying the Boston Marathon bombers, the simplicity and jaggedness of Paint evokes the crazy wall aesthetic of red string and scribbled notes, apparently without irony.The same year, internet historian Patrick Davison explored Paints influence on the last decade of meme culture, particularly Rage Comics.The outsider art aesthetic feels appropriate to the relatable everyday content, and makes the art form unthreatening.Of course, Paint offered a few features to smooth things out, like the circle and line tools and the fill tool, all used in the stoner comics of the early 1.Crucially, those circles still had jagged curves.The bright colors of stoner comics are flat, as MS Paint didnt support gradients without an elaborate hack.Contrast those pixellated lines with the slick, stylish face from this art tutorial This slickness is built into Paints successor, Paint 3.D. From the moment you start sketching, Paint 3.D smooths out your art.It also supports automatic selection tools and content aware fill to rival Photoshops.By automatically improving art, Paint 3.D hides the process behind the image.Paints sloppiness is probably why rage comics got so popular.Looking at a rage comic, you can tell exactly how it was drawn, and how you might draw one yourself.By delivering exactly what the artist draws, MS Paint forms an image that the viewer can mentally reverse engineer and imitate.Unless you go absolutely nuts with it.Reddit user Toweringhorizon painstakingly assembled the drawing To a Little Radio using MS Paint tools like the oil brush, stretching the medium while maintaining a pixelated look.Its one of the top submissions to MS Paint subreddit, a beautiful collaborative art gallery.Scrolling through this art feels like flipping through the sketchbook of the most artistic kid in high school.Theres an accepted roughness, a desired minimalism.For example, the exquisite raindrops in the work above are reflected in a flat, featureless tabletop.Like a transistor radio, Paint might be showing its age, but this tenacious little gadget should not be underestimated.To a Little Radio doesnt even come close to testing Paints limits.As we say goodbye to the app that shaped an era, let us watch this bizarrely soundtracked time lapse of drawing Santa Claus in MS Paint on Windows 7 over the course of 5.We can only believe this is real because faking it would be even harder.
