The queue set defined in a single RTS Console is saved and reloaded as a unit; to set up
queues (or queue sets) that will save and load independently, even if used within the same room,
define additional RTS Consoles as needed.
General options:
•
Seats w/ RTS buttons
You must supply the number of seats here, even if you have a Voting Console defined
with a specific number of seats. The two numbers do not have to be the same. This
number simply reflects the number of seats that actually have request-to-speak buttons.
Make sure you have defined a name for each seat in the
Members
table by creating a
records with ID field values from 1 to the number of seats.
•
Invert font
Check this box if touchscreen's speaker status indirect text fields contain light text on a
dark background. In this case, the usage of the font characters is reversed.
•
Auto-yield
When checked, this option forces the current speaker (if any) to yield whenever a new
speaker recognized.*
The
Request button behavior
frame contains the following options:
•
Removes member's name from queue
This refers to the behavior of the RTS button if pressed when the seat is already in the
queue (when the seat is in the
WAITING
state). If the seat has not yet spoken at all, it is
removed from the queue entirely. If the seat has already spoken and is waiting to speak
again, his state reverts to
DONE
.
If this box is not checked, button presses while in the
WAITING
state are ignored.
•
Member yields his remaining time
This refers to the behavior of the RTS button if pressed when the seat is already in the
queue and in fact currently has the floor (when the seat is in the
RECOGNIZED
state). The
seat yields the floor (new state =
DONE
).
If this box is not checked, button presses while in the
RECOGNIZED
state are ignored.
•
Registers a request to rebut the item
This refers to the behavior of the RTS button if pressed when the seat is already in the
queue but has already finished speaking (when the seat is in the
DONE
state). The seat
goes into a
WAITING
-
n
state. Fill in this text box with the maximum number of times a
seat may request to speak on a single item. The maximum is 10.
The default value for this option is 1 (no rebuttals). In this case, button presses while in
the
DONE
state are ignored.
•
Local feedback
[See “Local feedback” on page 38.]
•
Seat name tally
These signals, also provided in the Voting Console signal blocks, are provided here in
case the there is no Voting Console defined. It is generally not necessary to send the
names from both signal blocks.
•
Queue set save files
Defines
f
, the number of
Load
f
, Save
f
, and DateTime
f
signals.
The
Request-to-Speak Queue Definition
frame contains a list of queues defining the
queue set to be controlled by the RTS Console. See the following section , “Queue
definition,” for more information. Five command buttons operate on this list:
•
Add…
Adds a new queue. However, before adding a new queue, you must define a scroller
signal block which will implement the queue. Clicking
Add…
(or
Mod…
) brings up the
Request-to-Speak Queue Definition
window:
* “Yield” means to yield the floor; to yield his remaining time.
