AN-287 FRAME17 - Multi Wire camera position

The FRAME 17 transformation allows a wire mounted stadium camera to be easily programmed. The transformation function calculates the initial XYZ position of the camera using trilateration from 3 wire mounting points. During running the FRAME 17 calculations will calculate the wire lengths for up to 6 support wires with reels mounted in any XYZ positions. The FRAME 17 transformation is available for MC4XX controllers (including MC464, EURO408, MC405 and MC403) with the Robotic Function FEC (feature enable code) fitted.
