This chapter is designed for the person or group
responsible for the operation and setup of the MBTS.
The M-3872 ISScom Communications and
Oscillographic Analysis Software is required to
successfully communicate system settings and
operational commands to the MBTS as well as
access the extensive monitoring and status reporting
features. Figure 3-2, represents the ISScom Main
Screen menu structure. This chapter provides a
general description of each ISScom menu selection
and command in the same order as they are displayed
in the software program. Those ISScom features
and functions that are covered in other sections of
this Instruction Book will be noted and referenced.
3.1 ISScom Functional
Description
The ISScom installation and establishing initial local
communications are covered in Section 5.5, ISScom
Communications and Oscillographic Analysis
Software Installation, and Section 5.6, Activating
Initial Local Communications.
Selecting the ISScom Program from the Becoware

Shortcut Command Buttons
When the ISScom software opens, there are also 7
shortcut command buttons for the most common
operations performed by ISScom. The first three
buttons,
Monitor , Setup System and System
Setpoints are also found under the System drop
down menu.
Initiate and Reset Buttons
The Initiate and Reset buttons are used to control
the MBTS. The Initiate button is used to initiate a
Manual Transfer and the Reset Button Resets the
Output Status of Latched Outputs, Timed Out
Function Statuses that are Latched, the System
Status and Latched Lockout indicators (if the
condition is no longer present).
Remote/Local Button
The Remote/Local button opens a dialog screen
(Figure 3-3), that provides a selection between
Remote and Local control of the MBTS. If Local is
selected only locally initiated transfers will be
performed, then Remote Control (manual initiate
transfer) of the MBTS is blocked. Local mode also
blocks remote setpoint changes. Remote Control is
defined as those manual transfers that initiate through
any serial port (except for the RS-232 port on the
front panel) and any externally connected manual
initiate command through inputs; blocking inputs are
still allowed.
