3.2.3 Menu Items
3.2.3.1 “File” I/O
The CU provides the ability to save and load
configuration files. The Room Navigator uses the
“.mcf” format for configuration files it creates, saves
and subsequently loads. To start a new configuration,
save a configuration and/or subsequently load a
configuration, use the “File” menu options. The CU File
menu options are shown in the figure on the right.
If you have questions about your configuration file or would
help understanding its contents contact FSR Tech support
at
[email protected] . Send your file along with your
questions
The title bar at the top of the application window always
shows the current configuration file being used. At
astartup, the word “Untitled” is shown because no
configuration file has been loaded and the current
workgin file has not been named and saved.
3.2.3.1.1 Configuration Files
The CU provides the capability to save and load configuration files. The CU uses “. mcf” format for files it creates,
saves and subsequently loads using the “File” menu options of the CU. The CU files contain the entire configuration
of the RN as configured in the CU (i.e., for your application). These files provide a convenient way to configure
duplicate systems as often as needed or modify one configuration as a starting point for the next.
A default configuration file, “RN8200_Default_xxxxxx.mcf”, is provided with the RN on the CD that contains the
CU. The default template configures the RN panels to perform fixed functions such as controlling the remote panel
return to Operational Mode, audio volume up and down, and audio mute. You should always load the defaults file
and start with this file to create your configuration so that you will have the default functions in your configuration.
If for some reason you do not wish to use the defaults, then you don’t need to load this file as your starting template.
Be sure to save the modified file under a new name.
Note: It is highly recommended you start with the default template and build you application configuration on top
of the default functionality. Changing or not using the defaults may result in unexpected or missing
behavior. Consult your RN technical representative if you are unsure. If you choose not to use the default
template, you must as a minimum configure a System On/Off button to execute a Set Operational Mode
Command or the RN will not respond to remote panel button presses.
3.2.3.1.2 Default Configuration File
The RN8200 is shipped with a default configuration file, “RN8200_Default_xxxxxx.mcf”. This file will provide a
minimum of functionality that will enable the user to control the audio level adjust and mute functions and select
from eight video and audio sources.
With this default configuration file, the system is configured as follows:
Video
Source
Video Format
1 RGB
2 RGB
3 RGB
4 RGB
5 Composite
6 Composite
Pressing the audio mute button will toggle the audio state between mute/un-mute.
Pressing the Volume up button will increase the audio sound level.
Pressing the Volume down button will decrease the audio sound level.
The upper leftmost Room Control button is designated the System Operational / Idle
Mode toggle button. At power-up, the lamp above this button will be illuminated “red” as
an indication of the system being in Idle Mode. In Idle Mode, the system will not respond
to any button presses except pressing this button to place the system into Operational
Mode. As part of the command sequence for entering Operational Mode, the source 1 is
also activated. Pressing the button a second time will place the system back into Idle
