JET ACTIVE FLOWCHARTS
Jet Active Flowcharts allow you to describe automatic remote control functionality using simple, easy to read
flowcharts. Flowcharts can be run from the
Jet
tab, on a schedule or when initiated by other flowcharts.
Install and Configure AutoPilot®
Jet Designer is part of the AutoPilot software. It is not necessary to purchase AutoPilot to write flowcharts for ARC
Solo, as Jet is provided as standard. If you have not already done so, visit
www.burk.com/downloads
and select the
support page for AutoPilot. Download and install the latest version of AutoPilot and download the AutoPilot User
Guide.
Before creating a Jet Active Flowchart, you must add your ARC Solo
site to AutoPilot. Refer to “Adding ARC Solo
Networks” in the AutoPilot User Guide for instructions on running the ARC Solo Network Wizard.
If your ARC Solo
has been configured with an AutoPilot license, you can connect to it using the green Connect icon:
. However,
this step is not necessary for creation of Jet Active Flowcharts that run on the ARC Solo unit.
Create a New Flowchart
To run Jet Designer, select Jet from the
Tools
menu in AutoPilot. In Jet Designer, select
New
from the File menu. Jet will prompt you for a flowchart target. You can choose
Run
this flowchart on an ARC Solo.
If your ARC Solo has been configured with an AutoPilot
license, you will also be able to select
Run this flowchart in AutoPilot
. It is generally
preferable to run the flowcharts on the ARC Solo, so that a computer does not need to
be running for automatic functions to work.
For complete instructions and a tutorial on Jet Active Flowcharts with examples, see the
“Jet” sec
tion in the AutoPilot User Guide.
OPENING AN EXISTING FLOWCHART
To open an existing Active Flowchart, click AutoPilot Active Flowchart... from the Open submenu under the File
menu.
SAVING THE FLOWCHART
After designing your flowchart, click Save from the File menu to save your flowchart.
Select the macro location where you want to save the flowchart, and give it a name.
Saving a flowchart that is running will cause Jet to stop the flowchart. If the flowchart is not scheduled to
run, you will need to restart it manually.
For Flowcharts in AutoPilot, Jet will only run flowcharts from the Jet directory. Do not save flowcharts in
any other location.
