Definable Button Functions
Buttons of the display unit and of the button panel itself can be configured (or reconfigured).
These are the button function classes:
Following are descriptions of the functions that can be assigned to definable buttons during
configuration (using the MCS Panel Configuration Editor).
Remember that the iMC-Panel-100’s button legends are at the discretion of the configurer. They
might not be exactly what you see listed in this guide.
None
This kind of button has no function. On the panel, the button’s legend is blank and the button is
dark. (The iMC-Panel-100 can never enable or disable this kind of button.)
Channel Selection
An Imagestore 750 is equivalent to a channel. A typical iMC-Panel-100 configuration provides a
set of channel selection buttons. (You can also select channels in the menus.)
A channel can be configured to invoke an NV9000 salvo when selected. Consult your system’s
administrator to determine which channels execute salvos.
Your panel will usually have a default channel which is the channel that is selected when the
panel powers up. Your panel might be configured so that its default channel is part of a channel
gang. If so, you panel is configured in what is called “automatic gang mode.” Whenever the
default channel is selected, all the channels in the automatic channel gang are selected
—
as a
channel gang.
There are 3 button types for channels:
•
‘Channel’ selection.
•
‘No Channels’.
•
Gang Channels.
Channel Select
A channel is equivalent to an Imagestore 750, an MCE, or an MCPM. Press a ‘Channel Select’
button to select a channel to control.
When you press a ‘Channel Select’ button, all status and configuration data for the newly
selected channel are downloaded to the panel. (It takes about one second.)
‘Channel Select’ buttons are mutually exclusive.
‘Channel Select’ buttons use the following colors:
•
Low-tally green. The associated channel is not selected.
•
High-tally green. The associated channel is selected and communicating. The channel might
or might not be the main channel in a channel gang.
