ILS ILS22GS win7/8 - Manual

ILS22Setup
Software User Guide
version 3.06
The program to configure your ILS22…
Introduction.
As the name of the program suggests, ILS22Setup gives the VAR (Value Added Reseller) and
the end-user the opportunity to program the behaviour of the ILS22 with respect to the control
functions, which are located to the left, bottom and right of the system LCD screen, engraved
in the glass plate.
Note: These functions are ‘out-side the ‘reach’ of the Windows operating system’, accessible
via the LCD touch panel, in the centre.
See the ILS22 user guide for a more in-depth explanation on using these buttons and headers.
Simply put, the ILS22 glass-plate buttons and headers can be used by the presenter, end-user
or supporting technicians to execute commands directly (e.g. startup the Sho-Q Presenter
package), enable or disable keyboard entries, increase or decrease system audio volume
output etc. And by hitting the Touch Screen Off button one can temporarily disable all these
keys (until the On button is hit again). This is handy when presenters use the surface for other
purposes then presenting using the embedded functions.
As far as control features, the ILS22 and embedded functions in general can control:
- An attached projector. Power On, Power Off, or definable commands for example
inquiring power status or lamp hours.
- Room light condition. Turn light higher or lower.
- Audio volume. Higher or lower or mute.
- Microphone volume.
- Microphone mute/un-mute.
- Display out selection, either Lectern itself or attached devices such as Notebook or
auxiliary.
- Electrical pedestal elevation up/down.
All of these functions depend on the embedded system software driver which we call
ILStranslator, and the setup defined with ILS22Setup.
Basically, and as defined with ILS22Setup, there are 3 possibilities per control function:
- The ILS22 will do it. Internal software in ILStranslor, internal relays and direct
communication (RS232) to external devices are under direct control of the ILS22.
- The ILS22 has nothing to do with it. Glass-plate touches have no effect, external
devices and circuitry is used.
- The ILS22 is setup as an intermediate or user-interface. Glass-plate touches will be
translated into commands to external intelligent controllers which will perform the
requested action.
ILS22Setup makes the system a hybrid one. You can choose and match according to local
conditions and requirements:
- Select which device is taking the action.
- Define communication parameters.
- Which keys are programmed for action.
