Operator Panel

In the SL8500, the StreamLineTM Library ConsoleTM software is the operator panel software application capable of execution on both a local operator console (touch-screen panel resident within the SL8500 frame), as well as a remote operator console (network PC).

The Library Console runs a JAVA application that provides the graphical user interface (GUI) for the library. The Library Console communicates to the library controller (HBC) through an Ethernet connection. In compliance with section 508 of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the touch-panel is accessible from a sitting or standing position.

The keypad interface of the software for the touch-panel enables alphanumeric data entry to the operator panel application from the local operator panel. The local operator panel does not contain either a keyboard or a mouse.

Use the Library Console to:

■View and modify status and properties of the library and the associated devices (drives, CAP, robots, and elevators)

■Perform library audit, self test, and code load

■Locate cartridges

■Display standard reports

■Display standard events
