Omega Vehicle Security OMP-MODL To Develop a New Program Net, To Open an Existing Net for Editing

7... HYPERNET™ I CON BASED PROGRAMMING

TIP: Users that have a number of OMP-MODLs in use may find it convenient to create a subdirectory in their HyperWare directory for each of the OMP-MODLs with which they work. The subdirectory names may correlate to the OMP-MODL ID or Unit Name which are User programmed (See HyperNet Programming in Chapter 7). As Program Nets are developed for each OMP-MODL or configuration, they can then be saved into the corresponding subdirectory.

To Develop a New Program Net...

To develop a new Program Net, the target OMP-MODL hardware configuration must be known. After configuring the OMP-MODL hardware as required for the data logging application (ie installing modules, setting channel configuration switches, etc), establish a serial connection to the OMP-MODL from the HyperComm Window.

Switch to the HyperNet Window and click on the Create New Net button and the connected OMP-MODL will be automatically polled for its hardware configuration. The workspace will update and show icons representing the standard System Base hardware and any User installed hardware.

Before editing of the workspace begins, this unconnected Program Net should be saved to disk by clicking on the File Save button or using the `File

/Save Net As’ selection from the menu. This unconnected Program Net can then be used as a starting Net for development of varying Program Nets based on the same OMP-MODL configuration.

As Program Nets are developed, they should be saved with a filename different from this basic Program Net. Use the `File / Save Net As’ drop- down menu to save Nets with different filenames.

To Open an Existing Net for Editing...

If a previously developed Program Net is to be edited, open the Program Net file by clicking on the Open File button and selecting the desired file.

Icon Placement

To add an icon from the Tool Bar to the workspace, click on the desired icon and while holding the mouse button down, drag the icon onto the workspace. Release the button when the icon is positioned in the approximate desired location. Icons can be relocated within the workspace by the same technique... even after connections have been made.

The Icon Toolbar contains more icons than are visually displayed at the top of the window. To see additional icons, click on the left and right arrows at the ends of the boolbar to spin to additional icons.

The HyperNet workspace utilizes dynamic panning. As an icon (or connection) is dragged near the edge of the screen, the workspace will pan.

Using Grids

If desired, a grid structure can be enabled on the workspace that provides a visual grid and/or `snap to grid’ function. Select `Options / Grid’ and select the desired operation.
