EEG-QIP Config
Available EEG-QIP Units
This page allows a user to add/remove/edit the EEG-QIP units served by the CHIC server. The MAC address of each EEG-
QIP unit is entered into the CHIC server. The MAC address is included in the DSM-CC data carousel so that an EEG-QIP
unit can identify data targeted to it. The Unit Name and Unit Location fields are only included to help a user identify EEG-
QIP units by something other than a MAC address. MAC addresses should be entered using 0-9, A-F without delimiters.
EEG-QIP Files
EEG-QIP Template Files/Image Constraints
Sample 'guide.dat' and 'colors.dat' files are available for download here. Descriptions of each field are present in the
template files to help a user create custom files to meet their needs.
Header and footer images are constrained to JPEG (.jpg) files of the dimensions 1152 pixels wide by 72 pixels high.
NOTE: Each numbered footer control (footer1.jpg, footer2.jpg, etc.) corresponds to the guide page on which the
image will be shown. For example, the image uploaded for 'footer1.jpg' will be shown on the first guide page. If
there are more images uploaded and included than guide pages to display, the excess images will not be shown,
but will be saved on the EEG-QIP unit. If a footer is not selected for inclusion, the 'footer_message' text as is
specified in the 'colors.dat' file will be displayed instead.
EEG-QIP Unit Configuration Files
Each EEG-QIP unit has custom configuration files that can be applied. At a minimum, a 'guide.dat' file is REQUIRED for an
EEG-QIP unit to properly display a program guide. Each file (guide.dat, colors.dat, header.jpg, footer.jpg) can be uploaded
to the CHIC server and selectively included into the DSM-CC data carousel. Once the upload of a file has been completed,
validation is performed on the uploaded files. The status of the validation process can been seen in the 'Config Valid' field.
