Locations 10 and 11 - Sequence Number

The sequence number currently active for the monitor is displayed in these two

(2) locations. This number is between 1 and 60, or 00 to indicate that no sequence is loaded.

Location 12 - Sequence Status Indication

This location indicates the status of the sequence “active” in the monitor. There are four possible character combinations:

a.^R indicates the current sequence is sequencing in a forward direction.

b.RV indicates the current sequence is sequencing in a reverse direction.

c.^S indicates the sequence is stopped, but if started again would sequence in a forward direction.

d.SV indicates the sequence is stopped, but if started again would sequence in a reverse direction.

Broadcast Message

The operator of the personal computer can send a message using the optional LTC 8059/00 MCS package or the optional LTC 8850/00 GUI Software pack- age to all monitors in the system. This message may be up to 12 characters long and can be used to notify all users at all monitor locations of important informa- tion. The message, along with its beginning and ending time and date, is also printed out on the logging printer, if one is connected; and any acknowledg- ment from users is also recorded. The broadcast duration may be set for 1 to 60 seconds. The message temporarily overwrites the 12-character monitor title/sys- tem status display.

Program Prompts

During entry of sequence programming using the keyboard, the Allegiant sys- tem prompts the user on the monitor his keyboard is currently “controlling”. The display will return to its previous form when the user leaves the program- ming mode.

Camera Number

The left-most display on the top line shows the camera number. This number is generated by the system and is always displayed. Each number is unique and identifies this camera when using the keyboard for video call-ups.

In base systems, this number is the same as the numbered BNC connector that the camera is plugged into on the rear of the bay (physical camera number). However, the optional LTC 8059/00 MCS package or the optional

LTC 8850/00 GUI Software package can be used to change this number to any unique number between 1 and 999.

Camera Title

The camera identification display is the first 16 characters of the lower line. These 16 characters label each camera with its own title, and is displayed when- ever that camera is called-up. The characters can be entered from the keyboard (see User Function 9) or may be entered from the personal computer keyboard. There are a total of 256 different characters that can be displayed. See Chapter 19, “Character ROM Tables for LTC 8500,” on page 68.
