# Barco PULSE

VIOSO software can export warp and blend files in the Barco pulse format. It consists of an **XML file (warping grid)** and a **PNJ (blend image)** that are automatically generated for each calibrated projector.

## Project Mode <a href="#id-1209060696-ij3wej" id="id-1209060696-ij3wej"></a>

1. Create a new project with the “**Pulse**” template\

2. In the Design step, replace the name of each projector with its **IP address**\

3. Proceed with the regular calibration steps, and at the end your export button will automatically transfer the warp and blend files over network to the projectors.

#### Manual export – upload <a href="#id-1241176298-ww7y3u" id="id-1241176298-ww7y3u"></a>

From the main VIOSO window, go to `File > Export Mapping`\
Choose the format Barco Pulse from the list and export your file.

Next, you can upload the files using the Barco web interface or projector toolset.

#### Scripted export – upload <a href="#id-1305654058-2qv71y" id="id-1305654058-2qv71y"></a>

You can use VIOSO export scripts to automatically generate the files and transfer them on the network. Optionally you can also add conversion tasks and temporary files. Example:

```
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<VIOSO>
<File version="1.0.0" />

<CalibCommerceTask Typ="export" Format="vwf" >
<CommonParam bSilent="0" bNoVC="0" bNoGeomCorr="0" bNoBlending="0" bNoMask="0" bSeparatedSplitDisp="1" bAllToMaster="1" bBlankUnusedSplitDispParts="0" bExactFileName="0"
FileName="tempFile" />
<SpecialParam qGridDimX="21" qGridDimY="21" />

<Task Typ="convert" Format="observer conversion">
<SpecialParam customCntSpaceName="*" />
</Task>

<TransferTask Format="PULSE" Device="D5 FL40-WU MKII (BPS0E0B)" Core="192.168.1.100" >
<Destination Core="192.168.1.130" />
</TransferTask>

<TransferTask Format="PULSE" Device="D7 FL40-WU MKII (BPS0E0B)" Core="192.168.1.100" >
<Destination Core="192.168.1.131" />
</TransferTask>

<TransferTask Format="PULSE" Device="D6 FL40-WU MKII (BPS0E0B)" Core="192.168.1.100" >
<Destination Core="192.168.1.132" />
</TransferTask>

</CalibCommerceTask>
</VIOSO>
```

## Troubleshooting <a href="#id-807027858-oit5k6" id="id-807027858-oit5k6"></a>

1\. If you have issues with the automatic transfer of the files, check the network connection of the calibration machine to the projectors in the browser. e.g: `http://192.168.1.132:9999`

2\. You can debug the exported geometry from the XML file with the SplineTestTool. You can find it in your install folder `\VIOSO6\Shared tools\SplineTestTool.exe`

3\. If you’re using an AMD threadripper CPU, you might encounter save issues. To solve this, go to Options / Settings / File Options and untick the checkbox “save compressed”
