Gen3 - Selections - Disable/Enable Forward/Reverse Camera (Old Display Software)

Enabling/disabling cameras in older Gen 3 display software can be done by directly editing a configuration file on the SD card

Enabling/Disabling cameras in older display software versions requires a PC/Laptop, an SD card reader and the Windows 'Notepad' app. 

Steps to edit the relevant parameters:

1. Turn on and boot the computer

2. Insert the SD card from your telehandler into the card reader

3. On the SD card, locate the file:  data.cfg

4. On your PC, start the app: notepad.exe

5. Drag and drop data.cfg onto the open notepad page - image below represents some of what you will see.

6. The two parameters that require changes are: 

ForwardCameraEnabled= 

ReverseCameraEnabled=

A 1 or a 0 after the = will be entered/changed 

A 0 represents camera turned off

A 1 represents camera turned on

7.  Make the changes as required:

Disabling the forward camera

Enabling the forward camera

Disabling the rear camera

Enabling the rear camera

8. Save the changes by selecting File > Save

Select 'Save' to save the modified configuration

9. Eject the SD card and insert it back into the Gen 3 Display

When the Gen 3 next boots up, the camera(s) will either be enabled or disabled as edited in the data.cfg file.

Do NOT change any other parameters within the data.cfg file. Doing so may introduce gross inconsistencies and negate the Gen 3 abilities to be an effective safety system
