User’s Guide
7 User buttons
You can add function buttons to the GUI. There is a small set of buttons from which to
choose.
Click in a ‘Button Type’ field to add a button. The ‘Button Data’ field might or might not con-
tain data depending on the button type.
8 GUI layout
Here you specify the size of the various GUI elements. For instance, you can specify the num-
ber of rows and columns of the button matrix that represents source or destination devices.
If your GUI will have a set of multi-destination devices, you must specify the “multi-dest
limit” in this section. The multi-dest limit is the number of multi-destination device entries
that will appear in your GUI. Some or all of these entries can be blank. Operators, if allowed,
can define, or redefine, certain entries.
EC9710
Because it is software that runs on your PC, the EC9700 must be installed on your PC. (See
on page 187 for installation instructions.) And because it runs on your PC, the
NV9000 system must be able to communicate with your PC. Therefore, when you configure the
EC9700 (and the EC9710) you must provide the computer name of the PC on which the software
will run. (You can find the computer name of a PC by right-clicking the computer icon for the PC
and choosing the ‘Properties’ command from the context menu that appears.)
You must create a separate EC9710 configuration for every PC that will run the EC9710 GUI.
The ‘EC9700/EC9710’ Page
The ‘EC9700/EC9710’ configuration page lists the software control panels defined in your
configuration. At the bottom of this page are buttons that allow you to add and delete software
control panels.
See
on page 209 for details.
The ‘Add SW Panel’ Page
The ‘Add SW Panel’ page is the page in which you start the addition of a software control panel.
It is in this page that you specify the computer name of the PC on which the panel is to execute.
See
on page 211 for details.
