Aegis Micro NRC 2.0.1 Tree

Users’ Guide: Networked Receiver Controller - NRC-2.0.1 PAGE 23

The window is split into several functional areas. On the left is the tree, and to the right is the

content panel. A toolbar is found at the top, and a status bar can be seen at the bottom of the

window. Each of these components is discussed in detail below.

Tree

The tree control is found on the left-hand side of the main application window and functions

much like the similar control found in file browsing applications. Each component in the tree is

referred to as a node. Nodes are organized in a hierarchical fashion. The tree is navigated by

clicking the various nodes in the tree. When a node is clicked, the content panel is updated to

provide detailed information and control options corresponding to that node in the tree. In

addition, some of the toolbar buttons are enabled or disabled to reflect their use when that node is

selected.

Each time a connection is made with an NRC server, a node is inserted in the tree below the

“NRC Servers” node representing the connection to that server. The title of the node is the IP

address or hostname entered. Below this NRC node, several “channel” nodes are inserted. Each

node represents a channel of that NRC server.

Channel nodes provide some immediate information on the current state of that channel. The

title of each node is the model name of the receiver attached to that channel. The NRC has 8

channels and these are represented with the top node being tied to channel 1, node 2 tied to

channel 2, and sequentially down to node 8 being tied to channel 8. If there is no receiver

configured for that channel, the node will read, “No receiver attached.”

In addition, the color of the node shows the connection state of that channel.
