If you are using exacqVision Client 9.2 or earlier and want to create a shortcut that allows your users to open the client to a predesignated camera view, event monitoring profile, or to specific monitors on a multi-monitor viewing station, you will need to create an XML file based on the client CLI documentation:
If you are using client version 9.4 or later, please refer to KB:53190

Windows 7, 8.x, 10
1. Open the Windows Start menu and show All Programs. Find exacqVision Client.
2. Right-click on the client icon, expand ‘Send to’ and select ‘Desktop (create shortcut)’.
3. On the Desktop, find the new shortcut. Right-click it and select ‘Properties’.
4. Edit the ‘Target’ field to add an ‘-F’ option pointing to the XML file:
“C:\Program Files\exacqVision\Client\edvrclient.exe” -F˂FilePath˃\˂FileName˃
If you placed the XML file in a user’s directory that might look like:
“C:\Program Files\exacqVision\Client\edvrclient.exe” -FC:\Users\admin\Monitor2.xml
5. Click ‘OK’ then double-click the shortcut to test it.
6. You may rename the shortcut to identify a specific monitor or camera view.
7. If you are configuring shortcuts to open multiple clients on multiple monitors, repeat the steps above.
