Configuring Serial Tally Systems

This section covers the configuration of the Kalypso, Andromeda, Encoda, Serial to TCP/IP
Dispatcher, and TSL serial devices, which can be added to a multiviewer system to receive
and interpret serial tally information from peripheral devices. The illustrations, options or
properties shown below may vary, depending on your actual system.

To configure a serial tally system

1 In the main window, click the System tab, and then click Description/Calibrations on

the second-level tab bar. The main pane displays the System hierarchical list, and the
Tools pane displays the equipment library when the root of the System list is selected.

2 Drag the appropriate peripheral device from the equipment library onto the root of the

System hierarchical list. Alternatively, right-click the list root, and then click the
appropriate peripheral device on the menu.

A window appears, prompting you for a device identifier.

3 Type a name for the peripheral device, and then click OK.

4 Click the Interconnects tab.

5 Click the multiviewer icon and hold the mouse button, while dragging the pointer

towards the peripheral device icon.

A line representing the connection between the multiviewer and the device appears.
