Device Control Operations

Figure 79. External Device Gangs Menu

The Devices, Gangs menu has two panes with scrolling lists, each listing
the devices setup for Karrera system control. A primary device is selected
in the Primary Devices pane on the left, and the devices to be ganged to that
primary device are selected in the Ganged Devices pane on the right.

Each device in the left pane has a button labeled with the name of the
device, and a text field that lists the devices currently associated with that
primary device. Selecting a device button in the left plane illuminates that
button, and delegates the right scrolling list to allow selecting and de-
selecting ganged devices for that primary device. The

Gang Enabled

button in

this pane activates or deactivates the gangs that have been established
between the devices.

With a primary device selected in the left pane, the remaining devices avail-
able for ganging are displayed as active buttons in the right pane. Devices
not available for ganging are grayed out and inactive. Touching one of the
active buttons in the right pane illuminates its indicator, and that device’s
name is added to the text field of gangs for the primary device. Touching
an illuminated button disassociates the gang and removes that device’s
name from the text field.
