PROGRAMMING

FLAG TYPE

This feature allows you to insert a visual alarm flag on each exception that you program to aid in the review of the video tape. This flag can appear as an asterisk “*” , a flashing asterisk, reverse text, or flashing reverse text.

To make your selection, press the “Up” or “Down” button to move the cursor to “FLAG TYPE” and press “Set”. The cursor will start flashing. Press the “Up” or “Down” button to cycle through the values and press “Set” when the desired value is displayed.

FLAG DURATION

Choices: 6, 12, 30, 60, 120, 180,..., 300

This is the amount of time in seconds that the on-screen FLAG, either the Asterisk or the Reverse mode, will remain activated once it is triggered.

NOTE?

Flag Duration is independent of the Alarm Duration. Flag Duration is the amount of time the on-screen flag will remain on after activation, while, Alarm Duration is the amount of time that the hard-wired Alarm Output remains activated after it is triggered.

To select the amount of time in seconds that you want to program for the flag duration, press the “Up” or “Down” button to move the cursor to “FLAG DURATION” and press “Set”. The cursor will start flashing. Press the “Up” or “Down” button to cycle through the values and press “Set” when the desired value is displayed.

TRIGGERED TEXT

A Triggered Text is a data string that associates with one of the 16 alarms or with external RTS alarm. When the alarm is triggered by a source, the associated string is sent out and/or displayed, if enabled respectively. Each Triggered Text can contain up to 40 printable ASCII data. If non-printable data (control code) is included, each control code occupies 3 printable spaces. Therefore, only 13 control codes maximum can be programmed in one Triggered Text. To program the TRIGGERED TEXT, go to the ALARM OUTPUTS sub-menu. Select desired ALARM NO or RTS for external alarm. Then go to the TRIGGERED TEXT sub-menu.
