Features

Keying Graphics

Any remaining events in the EAS alert ‘off’ GPI macro are processed. These macro events are
suspended until the preceding events complete.

Additional commands can be added to the GPI macros to provide other EAS actions. At a
minimum, these events must include a ‘Voiceover On’ and ‘Voiceover Off’ command and appro-
priate delays to ensure that the data for the crawl is received. Such GPI macros are outside the
scope of this manual, but can be discussed with Miranda Support.

Because the Imagestore 750 retains the last EAS text message received, the

EASNone.oxa

crawl

will be seen only when the EAS mode is activated with no alert level. When verbose logging is
enabled, all EAS transactions are recorded in the standard Imagestore 750 log files.

Temperature Probe

The temperature probe feature requires the IS-750-TEMP option.

This option provides a low-cost temperature sensor (Sensorsoft ST6154J) for measuring the
local temperature, typically from the roof of the building. The temperature can be recorded in
Celsius or Fahrenheit, and can be displayed (and continually updated) on a keying layer of the
Imagestore 750 using an Easytext template.

The thermometer connects by cable to an RS-232 serial port of the Imagestore 750 and can be
located up to 1000 feet away without the need for a battery or external power adapter. It has an
external stainless steel probe, suitable for outdoor applications or where liquids are present.

More information is found on the temperature probe option’s instruction sheet. That is Miranda
document M987-9805-101.
